Let my Heart be Whole again

On and on I go, walking on..

Walking on to an unknown place..

Trusting the hand that guides me on..

I have no doubt, that the guide is true..

But the heart aches for one I can’t see..

Alas! I can’t shake it off, no matter how I try,

Why I do not know, I can only feel,

Forbidden I am to speak, I can only wait,

Time heals they say, heal it has not,

Day after day, month after month,

Time goes by, I wish it could go back,

“How foolish!” they say, a fool indeed I am..

Pining after a memory, pining for a dream..

The present is indeed a blessing,

Yet to the past the heart wanders..

Dreaming and hoping, for something out of reach,

Is it fated, or is fate itself a dream?

“Cast away your doubts!” they say,

But doubts come back like weeds,

Give me the balm for this ache, I say

Let my heart be whole…

Is this ache temporary or is it permanent?

Is there an end to it, or am I being taught a lesson?

Why does everything need to be a lesson,

Can’t some things just happen?

Oh please, just let my heart be whole again…
