Metaphorically Broken

I woke up early this morning With heartache by my side My pillow stained with memories From the teardrops that I cried I drank me a cup of loneliness As I read the morning sorrow I put on all my hopes and dreams And threw away tomorrow I take my pain for its morning walk As the sun begins to die The sky above seems to understand And the clouds begin to cry I fix a bowl of emptiness As I sit beside my fears I taste my heart's broken smile As it rises in my tears My days are all but over now So I count each one with care Life to me is already dead It's just an empty stare

I like it, verry well expressed when Loved ones hurt it it makes us feel like part of us has died, I felt like I was dead inside not too long back but that last glimmer the Lord grabbed and shwed me his Love is the only true Love, trust God and God alone and you wont go far wrong. God bless from diane
