Silence of a Broken Heart

With great anguish the day began,
Death severed love's embrace
A life of promises and plans
With one last breath the time we had together erased

With trembling hands he held himself tight
Tears rolling down his cheeks 
The stinging tears hit the ground as they rolled off his face
His only love turned on him
Leaving him in the dust 
Leaving him behind as she flew up into the sky
Not willing to say a goodbye
The harsh pain was much more than he could bear

Wedding bells were soon to ring 
Her white satin gown draped across the bed 
Collecting dust by now,
But now he wears a suit of black 
To say his goodbye's

Each night his pillows' wet with tears
The devastating dreams are slow to part
Now in his eyes,
The heartache is still the silence of a broken heart.
