Orphaned Heart

Where have they gone
since I last took a look.?
I had tried my very best
to do all that I could.

I thought only a moment,
was all that had passed,
but now it feels like
a lifetime is gone.

Where are the ones,
who said that they care?

Who I thought,
always meant what they said.

Did I hesitate to long,
or look the wrong way?
Did I not measure up
to what they expected?

Where have they gone,
or were they ever here?
Was it just my imagination
all along.

But here I stand,
inside looking out,
feeling deep pain,
in my orphaned heart.
