Eating away at the heart
No matter how brave the face that hides it,
Inside, it tears you apart.
The days turn into weeks
The nights seem never to end
Sorrow grows to overwhelming
Pain into an enemy from which youcan't defend
Day by day the pain grows worse
It goes on and on with no end in sight
The battle has taken all I have inside,
trying to win a battle I cannot fight
Sleep flees like a terrified bird
leaving me to lie here, alone in the night
exhausted yet unable to rest
I lie here and wait for dawn's light
I drag myself out of bed
and force myself to face the day
I force my self to go on, but there's nopoint
the joy of my life has gone away
