Heartache from heartbreak will sober your soul. <br />Burns through my conscience like smoldering coals <br />Slow and constant, little joy to be had <br />I cannot deal with the good or the bad. <br /> <br />Reflections on memories get frozen in time, <br />Emptiness and pain rule the reason and rhyme. <br />It’ll humble your spirit and weigh on your heart. <br />Making me wonder why we ever did part. <br /> <br />The heartache from heartbreak will temper your soul <br />No passion or beauty, it is so hard to see <br />What really went wrong between you and me? <br /> <br />Help me stop blaming myself for mistakes that we made. <br />Why didn’t we fight for the love that we had or <br />For one another when we were so young? <br />So tell me my darling what could have been done! <br /> <br />The heartache from heartbreak will temper your soul <br />No passion or beauty, it is so hard to see <br />What really went wrong between you and me?<br /><br />William J.
