Heartache and Pain

Love and Pain how I have known these well.
I open my heart and feel it swell.
I surrender to it with all that I am;
To only discover that all is a sham.

For this tormented life I lead;
It doesn’t matter how much I plead.
I am destined for heartache, torment and pain;
I must not forget, never to trust again.

Sometimes I wonder why I was put on this earth.
Regretting the day my Mother gave birth.
I see no point in the pain I feel.
All my life seems so unreal.

As time passes by I watch the light fade;
Hoping that in time I would have paid.
For whatever it is that I did so wrong;
To make men torment and hurt me, for so long.

I had tried to love to open my heart.
But time and again it was never a start.
Someday perhaps my views might change.
But for now I live with my heartache and pain.
