My heart is broken beyond words
though none may fully understand
ever since I gave you away
thinking what I did was for your good
now I hide a pain so deep
and smile hiding my tears
nothing will ever look the same again
the leaves of onapproaching spring less green
the grass withered as my hopes
if I could give all I own
I surely would!
just to hold you in my arms once more
close to my heart
while tears showered on your softness
belated healing rain
hope dissolving pain
now life has ceased to be a sonnet
and words no longer rhyme
