The heart of me

The heart of me went out last night
It didn't float like hope is meant
I struggled but gave up the fight

They say the moon at night is bright
But stars don't twinkle, they're just lent
The heart of me went out last night

I watched until it was out of sight
No marks to show, not even a dent
I struggled but gave up the fight

Now all the words sound so trite
And cracks aren't mended with cement
The heart of me went out last night

And all the birds soon joined flight
They soared up high and quickly went
I struggled but gave up the fight

Now all our lives are plagued with blight
From our hands, it all is rent
The heart of me went out last night
I struggled but gave up the fight

Elle...you've got too much on the ball to give up so easily..\

Keep plugging...and most of all, keep writing

An absolute joy to read even if it is sad, the loss of hope is almost tangible you are a talent indeed.
