I Know This Heartbreak

How many times can your heartbreak How many times must I feel this ache, Like an old friend we are well acquainted Leaving big holes in my soul and life tainted, I sit here now crying real tears And there is nothing that I can do, I look out the window and see a full moon And I wonder what is the reason and truth, Behind the pain and the heartache we will go through When endured far too much as it is. As my tears drop on the worktop I know I have to keep a grip If I am to get through all this And no matter if the sun shines, It will always be dark and raining In a part of my heart. Thinking of your bravery and of your strength Will give me the resolve on the end, I wish I could be as brave as you I wish I could be as inspiring that is the truth, For you are amazing And no one can hold a candle to you. How can we lose you How can we bear this heartache in truth. My tears now flow freely And I can’t bear to think There nothing that I can do, Impotent and powerless to change what’s to come I feel the need just to hold you, To shelter, you to protect, you from harm And tell the universe the stars and moon, That they cannot have you But I know the truth, There is nothing I can do And so many will mourn you and miss you And in your short life You would achieved so much more than mine, So I salute you And bow down to you, As my heart breaks and tears fall from my eyes But for now it’s goodnight But not yet for the last time And as I say goodnight I know the tears that blind My vision will never go away, Or the pain ever assuage, My heart will never heal again But even when your far away My love will be right there with you, Just know that I will always love you And always think of you, No matter how much time will pass Because I love you And I will miss you And that’s the sad heartbreaking truth Just know that I love you.
