Dawn of a Heart

~
How much can a heart take,
How much can a heart bear,

When a man has a heartbreak
And no one seems to care?

How long can a heart last,
How long can a heart beat,

When a man's love is past,
And he must cry in defeat?

The sun doesn't shine anymore,
And the moon is now gone.

The stars aren't as before;
Life is one continuous dawn!
