One Sentence Broke Me

I am singing right, singing of heart felt joy Yet I can feel the tears stream down my face, I have recieved what my soul has yearned for, Has begged, pledded, and dreamed for, For so long I feel ancient, Yet I know I am young. I had what I wanted, I had what I needed, But that is all gone. Blown away, away, away, With one phrase, (that palaver) A single sentenced utterred in malice. It pierced my heart, It broke my spirit. Now cry, but tears will never suffice, Could never do my pain justice. I cry, I hurt, and with each die that goes by A part of me dies. I wonder how long it'll take for the whole, Of me to wither and die.
