Agony of Love

The Agony of despair 
Losing grip of full thought 
The sorrow within my soul
So deeply its beyond repair 
The nightmares won't go away
Yet I still manage to sleep
Yet I manage to put myself together
After each sorrow 
Making the effort to speak
Sadly, Words won't for-fill
Abandoned so long ago
Its difficult to cope
Yet 30 years ago still trying to fit in
Such Agony I feel heart broken
The pieces are so crumbled
If I felt my heart within my hand
My fear is what if it dissolves within my hand like sand
Sadness all over within this broken glass
She gave me a name so similar to hers
still feeling the grief of being tossed away
Into the system I went full of resentment 
Still I ask myself, what did I ever do?
Sometimes I feel as If my purpose was to assist those in need.
People see the happiness within my exterior
Yet don't see the emptiness within my interiors. 
Forcing myself to be happy just to prove power
Hiding the weakness within just so people can see strength.
