I Looked Inside My Heart

by Sammy - Capricorn

I looked inside my heart today,
to see what I'd find there,
Love, Hope, Dreams,
All burning bright,
And happiness, everywhere.
But alas it was not to be,
love's flame had flickered out,
and in its place, 
the ashes strewn
Of love ... there was no trace.
A ball of lead ..., ice cold,
was all I found in there.
And as my tears flowed o'er it,
you could not help but hear,
the crying, sobbing of a soul,
lost, lost, ...lost in despair.
And so I take this broken heart,
And seek out solace, ... where,
I can wait and dream and hope,
For love to re-appear.
