Epitaph Of My Heart

On this day, July 17, 2007,
my heart died on its way to true love's heaven.
Its smile was once so bright for all the world to see.
Turns out this love just wasn't meant to be.

True it is better to have loved and lost,
but did anyone ever count up the cost?
For now my shattered heart lies here,
and my mind wishes that I could disappear.

Maybe if my heart stopped it wouldn't hurt so bad.
Maybe if I could stop crying I wouldn't feel so sad.
But the tears still stream down my face,
and the scars on my heart just won't erase.
