Broken Heart

Broken Heart

Alive with pulsating love

Beating for the person it deeply cares for

Giving, gracious and noble

Brimming with childlike excitement, it awaits love inflow 

The love a lover

The love of a friend 

The love of a family who refuse to understand

Eager to be wrapped in cherishing warmth

Yearning to snuggle in tender arms, just like a new-born

As lonely days go by

Rejection inflicts pain like knife stabbing

Crying to shout out the hurt it feels

‘Stop your cruel indifference’

Voiceless, tongue-tied 

It cannot be heard

It breaks into pieces

A jigsaw puzzle of an ocean of tears

Torn apart by the one it loved

Stomped on by the one it lived for

Time won’t change the self-centred 

Time won’t cure the violent

But time can heal a broken heart

With self-care and self-love 

Never going back to whom caused it all.
