Love is Lost

I opened my eyes and looked around
to see if the world had changed at all.
The sun still rose and shined,
the birds still sang and the world marched on,
it seemed that nothing had really changed at all.
From my eyes, I look to see,
if what I feel is seeping out.
I wish I could say I am going to be okay,
and maybe in time I will..
but for now the pain is very real.

I know the exact moment the decision was made,
and the love I sought was lost.
I felt a heaviness in my soul
as if the love had been slain, by a ghostly hand.
Some will say it's God's will
for the love to be silenced and stilled.
But for now all I know is the love is lost,
and the pain is real.
