The heart can only take so much


Staring back at me
Trying not to blink 
Thinking why am i here 
And how can this be
How can i still be breathing 
After all the heart break
I feel empty 
And a shell 
This life is nothing but hell 
Ive done wrong yes i admit but is this really what i get ?
For just wanting to be accepted by a man who is my blood,
The one who gave me life and then took off in a minute 
The one who said he never hurt me but then again he did,
The one who told me he hung the moon and then forgot his kids,
The heartless shell of a man he was supposed to be 
Wheres daddy now as ur crying on your knees 
The voices laugh because they know im alone
In a dark room, crying and screaming,
Shhhh dont be so loud ur gonna wake every one from their peaceful sleep in their home 
Laying there silently screaming,saying ill be ok as it hard to close my eyes and go to sleep.
They wont let me
Please make it stop make it go away.
Please come back accept me, love me,so i wont have to pay , so my heart will no longer be broken fix me please.
Please oh dear father cant u see im on my knees by this point im tired...so i pray that i dont wake up tomorrow to another horrible heart aching day
