Broken Hearts

The tears still fall often,
Like rain that never quits-
For broken hearts do not mend,
They merely scar.

 

So at night I cry,
Waiting for a time-
When my tears will dry.
And the sun will reappear.

 

The darkness goes on forever more-
Even after the sun shines again.
Cause a part of me is gone forever.
Like an eclipse of the sun (darkness hides the light.)

 

In the sky appears a lonely star.
I make a wish,
And my broken heart begins to scar.
But the tears do not cease to fall.

 

The pain does not fade away,
Nor does it continue to grow-
When I awake each new day.
My heart (and soul) are numb.

 

In the darkness appears a faint light-
For where there's a rainbow, theres also a pot of gold.
I follow it (maybe it will lead to right-)
And at last I am free.

I'll have to share some of Moderna with you though my rule is iron-clad about not mentioning exactly whom each one was written for because everyone who is any good gets the best hate mail from those people!
