The Cost

by Brandi Mcg

The moon shines softly tonight
On my broken heart held tight
My tears glisten in the gentle glow
Where was the real me, and where did she go?
Now I feel but an empty shell
A mask, but it seems nobody can tell.
I'm Lost now, too far gone
Expect me to be weeping anew come dawn
I never thought this would happen, this hidden heartbreak
I don't know what made me snap: what it would take.
I don't understand, but I'm lost
I cared too much, and this is the cost
