Lonely Nights

When I think about what you have been through,
my heart, I feel it shatter.
It hurts so much so that it steals my breath,
but, not stealing my life from me.
The pain brings tears to my eyes,
and, they slowly slide down my cheeks unheard.

I think about the long lonely nights,
where the pillow is soaked from tears,
where the sobs are choked back,
where the screams of pain and suffering are screamed into a pillow,
where the mind is restless playing the "what if" game,
where the heart continues to break over and over.
