My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy. My life has been shaken by grief and strained,My feelings discarded as if they were spare change. I’ve lain my head in sorrow,I’ve lain my head in pain. I’ve felt like I wasContinue reading “Tears”
