What becomes of the broken hearted?
So often we've heard it said
But what of the dear departed
And the thoughts of humanity's head?

What happens to the ceaseless pain
All the aggression and the hate?
Does it stop, just like the rain:
Disappear, vanish... abate?

Where do all the children's dreams
Go when unfulfilled?
Do they flow into endless streams
To others who won't have them killed?

And what of the lifetimes spent
Remembering first loves lost?
Or the tears we cry in trying to vent
Unrequited love's bitter cost?

Maybe the're all like starlight,
Shining on through the universe
Created by us, for wrong or right,
Eternally, they shall disperse.

I wrote this at work the other night, but I feel there's something missing from it. Can anyone else put their finger on it... or help me out with a title? I'd also love to know where you think all of our thoughts, dreams, ideas, etc go when we're done with them.........

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

The opening line and the dear departed line seem awful familiar... watch that.
