The Outlines of a Broken Heart

As thr raindrops fall inside it's felt,trapped outside a woman's world as my heart 
begins to melt.
A special queen of hearts I was dealt,from long distance she sends her help.
Holding her picture deeply in her eyes I look,there's no joy in saying good-bye 
and love isn't lived by the book,my heart is trapped like a fish while my feelings 
are caught on a hook.
Maybe what I need lies inside of me and I haven't found it yet.
The obstacles in life has me surrounded.
So many times they told me to be strong,but when I look for their faces they are 
gone.
Where is the woman that brings me home ?
Now that I'm alone it's hard to hold on.
I feel persucuted for my rights more than my wrongs;joy came from a love 
song,pain has torn my chest apart.
So I write compassionate thoughts to give you the outline of a broken heart.
