Split spark

What's one little spark 
In a mountain of dirt
What's a sky full of stars
if no wish is heard
When you can't hide from the scars 
No matter the pretty words 
And the memories depart
But the feelings stay burnt
They say that time heals the heart
But loss means more than hurt
Cause no matter how bright the start 
The dark is always worse
Another trial to lose
Just to say that I care
Another mile in these shoes
I never wanted to wear
But if I had to choose 
It's not a journey I'd share
Cause if my thoughts were let loose
I'd turn them all to despair
The smiles through the blues
As I face this burden I bear 
Are the only trace of glue
That slows down the tears
So I hold back the truth
And keep my grip with a prayer
Cause if I split in two
What's inside would be bare
