Broken Hearts And Prayers

By Alexis Daniels

When your heart chooses a path and you walk so far,
nothing can turn you back from where you are.
No pain, no scars can make you turn away,
there’s nothing that anyone can do nor say.

You’re scared, you’re hurting, and the tears seem to never end,
but you think in your mind, “I would do it all again.”
For the little moments that get you through the bad,
for the few happy moments that get you through the sad.

For the few laughs and smiles, and the jokes and the care,
that you wish so wholeheartedly would always be there.
You’d try to make them happy in every possible way,
but it seems to worsen with every passing day.

All you want is for them to hold you and let you know that they care,
but no matter how hard you try, they don’t, and it doesn’t seem fair.
Your whole heart now broken, you hope for a change,
but you know somehow even through your prayers they will always be the same.
Your love won’t let you leave, and you continue to hope for the best
and pray every night that God will take care of the rest.
