The pain within my heart is strong,
A burden that I bear too long.
It weighs me down, it makes me weak,
And all I do is cry and seek.
I seek for comfort, for some peace,
For something that can make me cease.
But all I find are broken dreams,
And all I feel are silent screams.
The world around me seems so cold,
A place of pain, where love grows old.
The sky is gray, the wind is chill,
And every moment brings a thrill.
A thrill of pain that cuts me deep,
A wound that never seems to sleep.
It eats away that all I am,
And leaves me empty, like a broken dam.
I try to find some light to hold,
To warm my heart and break the cold.
But all I see are shadows deep,
And all I hear is pain and weep.
So let me sit here, all alone,
And allow my tears and mourn my bone.
For though the pain may never go,
My spirit still can rise and glow.
