A matter of hours
A flicker of time
My world is ripped apart
The speed is intimidating
The violence breathtaking
Uprooted from my place of safety
Left with all my silver linings black
The rain begins to fall
Falling like tears on the shattered remains of all my dreams
And my life is forfeit
Where do you go
In a city of dead ends
Where is my heart
Could have sworn it was in good hands
The pain is all that penetrates through the gloom
I want only to curl up and die
To lie down and never get up
Just let time bury me
With the ghosts of what could have been

Nothing hurts worse than a broken heart. Maybe a toothache.:-) My little boy came home with one a while back. That all encompassing lonely pain that we all must feel at some point in life. I told him love hadn't found him yet. When it did it would be worth the pain. You just got to keep lookin for it till you find it,if love is what you want.:-)

I could feel my heart wrenching too. May yours mend without the scars.
