When sorrows over
Take the mind,
The heart remains a wingless bird,
Struggling to navigate this life,
Unable to soar as it once did.
All that lingers is—Heartache and pain,
Failure and distress.
She once lived here,
When each day felt like
The dawn of something new.
Now she’s gone, leaving me in pain;
Loneliness is all I know.
