My Heart Died Fast [Triquatrain]

My heart died fast, love didn't last
Faith fell inside my mind
All hope was lost, my soul the cost
No light inside to find

Against the night, gave up the fight
No hold to ransom here
Drifts now in seas, the pain in me
As oceans fill with tears.

The darkened pool, holds now this fool
As one who'll never know
The heart turned dark, no lasting spark
To lighten up and grow.

So now I sit, inside this pit
Where love was cast away
No longer seen, no place to lean
Forever and a day.
