A heart that was once so pure
Is now consumed by anger
Won't stop until I'm sure
I am out of this danger

Don't know which way to turn
Since my head won't stop spinning
It was a hard lesson to learn
For me there is no winning

Time to pick up the shattered pieces
Of my torn up broken heart
With the expiration of these leases
Life gains a brand new start

It's a wonder my heart beats
After all this awful aching
Of all the amazing feats
To withstand the pain of breaking

Wish I knew the reason
For the burden that I bear
Will persevere through all seasons
Regardless of the scars I wear

Hope to find that which I seek
Continue searching high and low
Wiping the tears from my cheeks
Tomorrow will be a brighter day I know

That's the spirit!  Rise to live and love another day.  You never know... what you desire could be around the corner.  Good writing, very graphic.  I feel the anxiety and pain.

Jana,

Thanks!!  Exactly what I plan to do...live and love another day.  I hope it is around the corner and I am able to find it.  Glad to hear I was able to convey those emotions so well.  Appreciate the comments.

I can feel every word you have written here Lone Wolf. Your writing just keeps getting better  

SAD??? I suppose it depends on how you look at it. I choose to see the anticipation of the future in this piece, however , I can also see the sadness of it.

 All my love,
Jeffrey

You've worked yourself well through
the pain ... now on to regaining your
life.
Nicely done.

Your heartbreak comes through expressively, but so does your wonderful optimism LoneWolf ... there are reasons that hearts "bend" and do not "break" ... lovely poem!

Best wishes,
