NAASCA Highlights
EDITOR'S NOTE: Occasionally we bring you articles from local newspapers, web sites and other sources that constitute but a small percentage of the information available to those who are interested in the issues of child abuse and recovery from it.
We present articles such as this simply as a convenience to our readership ...
My heart aches to see your world just fall apart
My heart aches when I feel the pain within your heart
My heart aches when I see the emptiness inside your soul
My heart aches when your fears are too much you can't control
My heart aches when you reach for someone and no one is there
My heart aches when you can't see the love that is everywhere
My heart aches when your inner child is lost and confused
My heart aches when you reach for someone and they refuse
My heart aches when you hide the trauma of your life
My heart aches when your darkness can't seem to find the light
My heart aches when you crumble and you fall
My heart aches when you look down instead of standing tall
My heart aches for every time you give up on yourself
My heart aches for all those stories you can not tell
My heart aches when you feel so incomplete
My heart aches when you're bitter and not sweet
My heart aches when I can't see the twinkle in your eyes
My heart aches when I'm not there to hold you when you cry
My heart aches when you don't pick up the phone
My heart aches when I know you're there all alone
My heart aches when you try and then give up the fight
My heart aches when you can't see that everything will be alright
My heart aches when I learned of those who've done you wrong
My heart aches when I see you weak when I know that you're strong
My heart aches when the nightmares comes to haunt you
My heart aches when you're up and feeling blue
My heart aches when you're down as low as you can be
My heart aches when you can't see the love inside of me
My heart aches when you can not reach out to me
My heart aches when you hurt and suffer silently
My heart aches when I reach to you trying to pull you out
My heart aches when you're distant,scared and in doubt
My heart aches when I see you scared, lost and all alone
My heart aches when you believe that all the hope is gone
My heart aches when you feel all you do is wrong
My heart aches for all you you suffered for so long
My heart will ache until the grey skies you see, turns blue
My heart will smile the day you do.
