Heartache

It hurts.

These feelings,
I do not want them,
I do not need them,
I've never asked for any of this,
So how did it happen?

The monotonous days continues,
The perpetual pain ensues,
This neverending cycle
remains the same.

Was the sky this bleak,
Was the thunderous sounds ever this loud,
Was my heart this fragile,
Like a dew in the night,
I sparkle only
when the fleeting light shines my way.

I shut my mind to such thoughts,
I shield my heart from the pain,
I turned my back on the memories,
These useless emotions,
I should have tossed them aside
ages ago.
