Feelings

Long ago, feelings gone and lost
disappeared - who cared the cost,
emotion tears the mind apart
knew truth from a youthful start

Carry on with life’s unsettled woes
doing what’s right the simple life goes,
nurtures all except for whats within
fulfills emotion so love can begin

Time passed year to year
thoughts embedded hides a tear,
knowing peace would come one day
one is tested to see if faith strays

The heart though strained and tried
carried a pain difficult to hide,
the day suddenly told its goodbyes
to a world that displays hidden lies -

as sorrow slowly buries its past
