The Hand I'm Dealt

I should just accept the hand I'm dealt
My prayers remain unanswered, no comfort here is felt
I'm not sure I've ever been quite so alone
A pain deep inside that just cannot be shown

Sleep does not find me, drink does not sate
Food has lost taste and these dreams just berate
I'm starting to wonder if ever I'll find
A solace, a peace, an escape from this mind

A light in the darkness, a flicker of hope
A hand to stitch these pieces, to let slack into the rope
A bond to mend the broken, a chance at a fresh start
A hand to take in mine and place the pieces of my heart

I know not with path to take, nor which bridge to build or burn
The lines between the two are growing harder to discern
For now I stay the course, no other choice is found
Head held in my hands as these tears fall to the ground
