A Broken Heart

A Broken Heart

Treat me gently as I am still broken
Eclipsed with grief
Will daylight ever infiltrate my life again
I'm struggling to find a rainbow after the rain
Two people entwined for 20 years
Two hearts still bound but one body's disappeared 
Treat me gently as I try and climb this mountain so steep
I may seem strong by day but at night I still weep. 

Treat me gently as I am still broken
Losing a love so deep that it kissed the molten rock that simmered in its core
I won't let it melt even though it's future is no more 
Childhood sweethearts, every lasting memory I have included you
An infinite void is now left
How do I go on with out you 
Treat me gently I'm trying to live a normal life
But I'm finding life hard living without my beloved wife
I'm trying to keep on working
But sleep is an untouchable wish
I'm trying to keep on smiling 
But my energy has dwindled a bit 
I'm trying to keep on fighting but grey shadows the night does weave
Please treat me gently I'm finding it hard to breathe
