Our Souls are Crying

Our souls are crying!
The bond is broken
A rip let evil slip in
There are no voices today.

Our souls are crying!
Stolen is the closeness
That we couldn't live without
There is no touching today.

Anger settles into the cracks
Hurt fills the ripped places
Pain acts like mortar
Our souls are crying!

Where is the glue?
Where are the stitches?
Is there a pill to mend it?
Our souls are crying!

Our souls are torn
Our souls yearn...
Our souls are crying
Can't you hear?
Our souls are crying!!
