I felt a familiar ache today--
My heart beat once and then withdrew.
It shook my core all through the day,
But then it stopped...so I did too.

For when I looked upon my heart,
I found it fine, all healthy fit.
How strange of it to play that part,
That faking pain while lonesome bit.

But who's to say my heart I lead,
When I'm not one to find a path.
My silenced mind will beg and plead,
Yet it's no match for my life's wrath.

But tomorrow I will wake to find
Today's new worries have up and fled.
My heart will wait as I search my mind
For thoughts I've lost and words I said.
