Reflections of a Broken Heart- Collaboration With Heidi Sands

I sit at the water’s edge
  With my lone reflection to see
 What happened to our pledge?
  Now, will never come to be

  My tears ripple in water below
    No more skipping stones
  Pain from memories I know
   Slowly seep into my bones

  As the waves ebb and flow
    On heartaches from a distant shore
  I wonder if you know
That I will miss you evermore

  And the sadness in my heart
Will echo through the years
  And yet again will start
The rippling of tears

Waves of pain come over me
 As dark clouds hover above
   Tears blurring vision, I can hardly see
 How can I endure this loss of love?

  My reflection distorted,  now unknown
 As if I lost myself as well
   I fear what my broken heart has sown
 In this sorrow that within me dwells
                 ~~
