Lost the One

For there are no words to describe the depth of pain with a broken heart

Only the face in anguish it makes as the pain is too much to bare

The eyes filled with stinging tears as if she herself has pierced the eyes with needles 

The stains falling down the cheeks leaving them behind to bare witness to all that looks into his eyes

His Contorted face bares all the pain 

The heart that was his compass lays in ruins

Hello Paul Murray, oh a broken heart aches for what seems the longest time. We cry our emotions grow stronger and we cry some more. With some of us.Our bodies shakes with the loss and the pain is strong. Enjoy your day my friend.
