How much hidden heartbreak is there
Held in the centre of so many lives
Living on silently in wordless spaces
Put to one side
While the quest to survive is undertaken
In a precarious world
Is it any wonder
That sometimes people find it hard to rest
Or are so often haunted
And in life and love there are so many tests
That often stretch us to breaking point
As we make the effort to reach again for love
Out of the yawning void of emptiness
But until the wound is tended
Won’t our heartbreak just lead us on
More and more fruitless quests
As we try to fill up an empty space
We need to hold in consciousness
Surely in time
We become older and wiser
But is it any wonder that at times
We also give up
On the search for love out there
For often we have suffered to gain the wisdom
That nothing lasts for ever
And that eventually there will come a time
When our heart breaks again
As those we love die or betray
The deepest promises they made
And yet still
We must find a way to go on living
While we carry silently
This hidden heartbreak
With us every day
