Heartfelt Pain

My heart cries out in senseless pain
tormented, yearnings of my heart
knowing only that we must part

only seeing the ugly shame
hidden in the shadow of my heart
buried so the pain won't start

why, oh, why, must I play this game?
exposed to nothing but endless pain
always knowing there is no gain

forever hoping it won’t end the same
coming back to face the endless
unforgiving, mindless, sadness

Yet in my sleep I call your name
…this foolish yearning of my heart
please, dear Lord, don't let it start.
