Nothings changed Nothings new

What is it? Why?
What distresses you so?
Nothings changed nothings new
They're gone. This much you do really know

The tears flow too freely Why?
Your heart crumbles then shatters all over again
Nothings changed nothings new
It's true only you and your girls remain

The searing pain of loss Why?
Three long lonely years have passed
Nothings changed nothings new
Surely release from all consuming grief could come at last

The emptiness; the loss; the yearning Why?
Well what do you expect? What do you do?
Nothings changed nothings new
All logic thought tells you that it's all okay too.

Can't seem to function in my head Why?
It is what it is. It's that simple for you
Nothings changed nothings new
Just want to give up but that's not what you do.

No comforting arms no soul mate just for you Why?
Doing it totally alone seems what is left for you
Nothings changed nothings new
I guess this is what life must be for you

Sinking; slipping into the depths Why?
How often must you drag yourself back and give it one last try
Nothings changed nothings new
You know you have done it. You have gotten by

No comfort from friends or close family Why?
They can't possibly heal that whole in your heart
Nothings changed nothings new
Get a grip - Don't want to - Can't face it - It's easy just start

No use pondering, just accept, don't ask why
Could be worse. You really are not so totally alone
Nothings changed nothings new
You can do this - You need to - if you have to just pick up the phone

Nothings changed nothings new
The nightmare just goes on and on.

    The blood of a poets broken heart shows up well on the white page with words that show the cracks and depths of that wounded heart. Keep up the good works.
