Look And You Will Find

When you are searching for a dream
always look into your heart
cause deep inside yourself, you will find
a peace of art
so do not listen to people who try to put
you down, just believe in yourself
and will never wear a frown
strive to look within yourself and
look deep into your heart, and I
promise that you will find a
beautiful piece of art

Torn Heart

you are my one and only love
you mean more to me than anything
let down over and over again
knowing that I could never win
the smiles once had have after ceased
because of the pain that has
sometimes increased
I place my hand on my aching heart
to keep it inside as it tears apart
and just as raindrops tell of my
fears. the clouds are my eyes and
the rain my tears
as dew drop fade, the rose it dies
for tears in the heart never reached
the eyes oh! if I could mend that
torn heart of mine
