Heavy Heart in May

Soft wind blows through the meadow,

Shadows dance where we used to wander.

Every tear that falls on the ground,

Whispers your name, it’s so hard to bear.

May comes in with heavy clouds,

Each day just feels like a vow,

In this quiet room, the silence screams,

You were my heart, now I’m lost in dreams.

Promises made, I swore I wouldn’t break,

Never again would I give my heart away,

But when the nights get cold and dark,

I need strong arms to hold this shattered heart.

So I sit here crying, oh, can’t you see?

May is a mountain, and I can’t hardly breathe.

When the world feels heavy, and I’m all alone,

I’m breaking at the seams, like a heart made of stone.

Days drift by, I wear this pain,

Each laugh is short, and love just feels like rain.

Used to be a fighter, stronger than the tide,

Now I’m just a shell, holding back the tide.

I made a vow, swore I’d stay upright,

But every day is filled with endless nights.

And when the echoes of your voice fade away,

I just can’t help but crave what I used to say.

So I sit here crying, oh, can’t you see?

May is a mountain, and I can’t hardly breathe.

When the world feels heavy, and I’m all alone,

I’m breaking at the seams, like a heart made of stone.

I need a shoulder, I need the light,

To carry me back from this endless night.

But trust is a wall that’s broken down,

How do I open my heart when it’s lost and drowned?

So I sit here crying, oh, can’t you see?

May is a mountain, and I can’t hardly breathe.

When the world feels heavy, and I’m all alone,

I’m breaking at the seams, like a heart made of stone.

Here’s to the love that’s lost on the breeze,

A widow’s heart, forever on her knees.

May may be heavy, but I’ll find my way,

With hope in my hands, I’ll face another day.
