Sorrow, pain, and broken hearts
Were the story of my life
I used to fall apart
Because of all the vain strife
Mountains of tears
Only lacking snow at the top
Things were exactly as they appeared
I wondered when my heart would JUST STOP
On and on, day by day
In the worst, most tortuous way
Crying out for freedom in vain
Trying so hard to stay
Within the bounds of trusting faith
But my mind was shattered
As was my fragile heart
My emotions bruised and battered
Because she had it down like a work of art
Like a DaVinci, the Mona Lisa
Like a brilliant clash and shading
Reflecting with this love
But in secret began the hating
Ruining my life day in and day out
Waiting for nothing to materialize
Like a poor lottery player waiting for the
pay-out
But having my worst fears realized
I was never going to win
So I had to run away
Time and time again
Until I reemerged in faith
What does faith have to do with love?
Is the million dollar question
Where does this comparison come from?
Also a million dollar question
The Bible says that hope, love and faith
Are all intertwined
And that loves is the base
In which faith can be defined
So what is the source of all good things?
The God who created us
And He wants to give His people everything
So we can put our faith and hope in His love
And if you don’t look up
When you fall head over heels
When you pursue something that you “love”
Then the love is never gonna be real
And now I’ve returned
And my heart no longer burns
My heart no longer yearns
For the one who broke it
Choked it
Wrapped it up in paper and smoked it
And discarded it on the street
Trampled it under her feet
And, as was her custom, walked right past me
But I am back
And I know what I lack
And where the odds were stacked
There is the place where I attacked
And, in turn my heart was sacked
And my heart is still a little cracked
But, baby, I’m back
And stronger than ever
Endurance longer than ever
More joyful than I ever was
It’s funny now, but it never was
The overarching question to me
Is “What the heck did I ever see?”
That EVER made me
Want to believe
In what she could be?
Because she obviously
Did not wanna live up to her ability
I guess I should have known the fighter
Versus the good-nighter
Versus the blood-sucking spider
But I say the last part in jest
Cuz for her I only wish the best
I don’t mean to give her cardiac arrest
But I just had to get this off my chest!
