Why do I feel as if I've lost something?
My heart weeps for the love it never had
I feel empty, as if my very soul were slipping away
I long for romance like in the stories
Is my heart broken?
Or was it never whole to begin with?
I wish I could place the pieces in a box and bury it
Will this ache ever leave me?
Will I ever be held by someone who doesn't want to let go?
I cry, hoping some of my pain will leave with my tears
I pray that this hurt will not consume my life
If it does, I hope I will die shortly
