The Crack In My Heart
Today I was unsure whether I was crying or laughing.
I had to check and see if her silhouette was lingering over my porch swing.
And I thought I heard her voice calling my name.
But none of it was there,
For I loved this girl so much, I gave myself no care.
A silver pond sits in my backyard,
My place to weep
As my own tears drift me slowly to sleep.
When I awoke, my love for myself was no longer there,
For I gave it all to the one who I thought cared.
And my soul feels neglected
My mind and heart are disconnected,
Because another man, she has selected.
Many treasures we shared,
Alas, separation was the desire she declared.
Her red hair string lingers upon my shoulder
After all those times my arms held her.
And for what it might foolishly seem
I still care for her in my dreams.
