Sorrow, Pain, and Broken Hearts

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!
