Unhopeful

Was it too early 
To say I love you 
Was it too early 
To show you my feelings 

Doesn’t matter now 
Cause you’ve moved on 
But late at night 
Feelings for you come again 

If I had another chance 
To reach your heart 
I’d do it again 
Because I can’t move on 

Maybe I have a problem 
But you’re fine now 
So what can I do 
When I see you with him 

It breaks my heart
When you’re in love 
With him, while 
My heart is still hung up on you  

They say true love exist 
But honestly, I don’t believe it

Journey

After being shattered,
 torn apart inside,
 a hole was carved out of me
 and something in me died.
 
Our dreams, desires and hopes,
 so young and plentiful,
 all too quickly melted away,
 both of us feeling dismal. 

The time that then came after;
 so dark, unhopeful and bleak.
 The Heart could see no light,
 the body soon became weak.
 
A living, moving corpse,
 an empty, lonely shell.
 The Soul would drift, unheard from,
 locked in its gloomy shell.
 
But life is so persistent,
 and always will pull through.
 Subtle, gentle rays of light
 will once again shine true.
 
The pieces of Self are gone,
 and an emptiness remains,
 Yet the dark thoughts drip away,
 the Soul no longer in chains.
 
So Self must be reborn,
 clay in a potter's hands.
 Piece by piece, the hole is filled,
 done so with multiple strands.
 
Recreated little wonder,
 dance with Joy once more.
 Let your dreams regain their wings,
 and see what He has in store.
