Pain beaten far into 
the depths of my soul,
I cannot find happiness.
I search in you,
but you only bring me more pain.

The battle rages on.
Struggling constantly to survive,
I cannot see beyond these tears.
I am lost inside this shattered heart;
there is no life here.

I cannot break these chains
that cling to my heart,
and to my soul.
I once stood upon the solid rock
that now has become a deep
black hole.

I walk down the same dead end road
into nothing,
but loneliness and pain.
Over and over
this heart of mine breaks;
the battle never ends.

Memories flood my mind
and keep me awake at night.
I've become so weary.
No person understands
the road I have traveled,
or this constant battle I fight.

My mind wonders
as I sit and ponder,
looking forward to tomorrow.
For, one day, I pray,
this war will end,
this war in finding love.
