In the depths of my heart, a storm rages on
A tempest of emotions, love lost and gone
I try to smile through the tears in my eyes
But inside, I am broken, a soul in disguise

I recall the days of laughter and joy
When we were together, just girl and boy
But now all I feel is the ache of regret
A love that once blossomed, now hard to forget

I put on a mask, a facade of cheer
Hiding my pain, my sadness, my fear
I paint on a smile, despite the tears that fall
Pretending I'm fine, when I'm crumbling walls

I go through the motions, day after day
Hoping that maybe, the pain will fade away
But each passing moment, I feel more alone
My heart aching, breaking, turning to stone

I try to distract myself, with work and with friends
But the emptiness lingers, the hurt never ends
I see happy couples, laughing and in love
And I wonder what I did, to deserve the push and shove

They say time heals all wounds, makes the heart grow fonder
But I fear that my heart, is beyond all wonder
For how can I heal, when the wound is so deep
When all I can do is cry myself to sleep

I try to stay strong, for those who depend
On me for support, for love to extend
But inside I am crumbling, a shell of despair
A heart that is broken, beyond all repair

I long for your touch, your warmth and your smile
But all I am left with, are memories in a pile
I try to move on, to let go of the past
But the pain is a shadow, a darkness that lasts

I remember the fights, the words that were said
The hurtful accusations, the tears that we shed
I wish I could turn back time, make things right
But the past is the past, and I must take flight

So I soldier on, through the heartbreak and pain
Hoping that someday, I'll find love again
But until that day comes, I'll keep up the charade
Pretending to be happy, while my heart is frayed

For love is a journey, with twists and with turns
And though my heart aches, I will continue to yearn
For the day when I find, a love that is true
One that will mend, what was broken in two

Until then, I'll keep on pretending to be strong
Hiding my heartbreak, burying the wrong
But deep down inside, I know the truth
That my heart is shattered, a relic of youth

So I'll let the tears fall, in the darkness of night
And hope that someday, the pain will take flight
For even in heartbreak, there is beauty to find
A strength in the broken, a soul that's refined.
