Alone Without Love

If somebody dies of a broken heart
Does their soul ever heal, lost and apart
Why is it that life has such misery and pain
When what we give up aint worth what little we gain
How come dying lasts long but death is quick
Like a burning candle robbed of its wick
Some days I wanna give up and just drop to my knees
It'd be a lot easier without everyone to please
You see, I don't wanna die, but can't seem to live
I can't find happiness so what good can I give
I'm all bottled up just begging to burst
Life kept to myself is death only worse

this is phenomenal...
perfect subtle rhyme...not overwhelming...and the philosophy is so right on.

reminds me of a line of emily's.....
we have the power to kill, but not the power to die"

especially when it comes to hearts...we can kill hearts or have ours slain...it takes so long for the heart to die, and is so painful....but we can murder a heart with one or two words.

excellent stuff, Amanda.

It is when we are thrown down into the deepest pits that our souls are tried.

It reminds me of if you've never felt love would you wander the earth after death searching for it
