My Heart Yearns

As my world crumbles around me
The sadness stings like a bee

As my mind fails to keep me strong
As my life seems to be gone

The loneliness grows tall
The tears continue to fall

As my hope disappears
The joy is kept in arrears

As my heart yearns for love again
The sorrow seems to be the trend.
