How can
 

How can one heart feel so much?
Longing for a smile or a touch.
 
 

How can one heart turn from love?
When the one offering thought it was sent from above.
 
 

How can one heart tell another heart how it feels?
Knowing that the reply will be more than that with which it can deal.
 
 

How can one heart keep quiet its pain?
Thinking the other has so much to gain.
 
 

How can one heart mend all alone it seems?
Loosing faith in all its dreams.
 
 

How can one heart go on to seek another after being broken?
Holding in all the hurt, pain, doubt and mistrust that goes unspoken.
 
 

How can one heart be offered out in the palm of my hand?
With nobody there to take it and love it, by taking a stand.
