Heartache

You take my heart
And you teach it to love
You teach me what I
Am capable of.

Then you break it and bruise it,
You cut it to pieces
This sadness I feel
Abandonment; love ceases.

I need my heart, dear God,
Does it have to break?
I need my Spirit, dear Lord,
Must it always ache?

Must I never find
A true love for real?
Must I always be alone?
Will these wounds never heal?

I wanted to love,
Tried to give it a chance
But I struggled on beat
Trying too hard to dance

Now, I spin alone
Out of sync, out of mind
Take my heart, dear God,
Don’t let me fall behind.
