Oh Heart.. Where Art Thou?

There once was a girl

Fun used to be her world

She skipped, she dance, she drew

From the joyful lessons she knew...

Yet something went horribly wrong

Her once happy, were now sad songs

The people around her began to fade

And she wished she had left with her father instead

Life as she knew, ceased to exist

All her love turned into a dark mist

It engulfed her, slowly and whole

Like a gloomy cloud, it took its toll

Somewhere in the dark, a lone candle lit

Deep within the labyrinth of her soul, it continued to sit

It was a glimmer of hope barely hanging on

Hoping someday she would continue her song

But she felt she no longer could feel

The warmth of that lone candle that promised to heal

She liked the darkness instead

It was her guilty pleasure, her jam and bread

For the people she knew had turned cold

Calculative, bold with hurtful words they often told

What is this life and who do I live it for?

When Im so shaken, so empty in my core?

She kept asking every single day

With no answer in sight, all she could do was pray

That someday all will be fresh and new

Like crisp cut grass, its smell an intoxicating brew

And love would once again enter her heart

Then, as once before, she would start

Sing, dance and draw

Liking and loving everything she saw…
