Heart-ache

This pain I feel
it's deep within my chest.
It seems never-ending
will it ever come to rest?

My heart aches so vividly
sometimes it's hard to breathe.
I feel a knot in my throat
then tears flow from my eyes freely.

It hurts so much
I can hardly bear it anymore.
This feeling just overwhelms me
and I have not the strength to ignore.

This most devistating pain
is my soul pouring out heart-ache.
And every night I faithfully pray
that it's gone before I awake.
