An unbearable ache,
Of hoping and longing,
Wanting and needing.
A harsh darkness,
Lonely and bleak,
That holds me close,
And pulls me away.
My heart is now empty,
My tears are all gone,
For the love once there is gone,
And all that is left is this;
A cold, torn, and empty shell,
That once, long ago, would have been
My heart.
