JUST ONE MORE BROKEN HEART

A Poem by Bonnie Paige

Dawn at 5:55 A.M. comes to rescue me from another dark and restless night.
My voice no longer thrills him, is not needed.
My written words on his long and lonely journeys not wanted anymore.
My latest pictures erased from his sight.
Is it really over now? Is there no turning back to brighter times or happier days?

Dawn...the awakening from my shattered dreaming. Slowly life guides me into the living world. Is there nothing about my world you miss? Does nothing about us haunt your days?
As the nights still have me seeking just a word that answers WHY?

Ghostly memories from our past and our present drags the new day along. Then in the silent still of night I hear my broken heart beating...why did you get over me before I got over you?
Head pressed against my pillow, eyes closing to the sound of songs in the air, I fall asleep knowing
IT'S REALLY OVER NOW!!! But I'm the broken one who doesn't know how to mend.

Author's Note

I know I'm in good company. Anyone whoever loved and lost knows the feeling of a broken heart.

When freely given unconditional love is rejected - the question 'Why' will never be answered; for the one who leaves the relationship is just a thief who has stolen a piece of heart from you - never to be returned - and - the hole it leaves is called pain! Poignantly shared write my friend ... great share ... :-)

Great reply. A thief he surely was. Never thought of it that way but I will from now on.

Th is is so painful to read.. every wo rd h urts, every emo tion seems to b leed. This i s o ne of the saddest p oem I've read in my ye ars in the cafe. Written f rom a h eart that certai nly 'doesn' t know how to mend'. Happ ens. Hugs.

I feel your pain and can only say that you will find closure in the answer that he was not worthy of your love. To truly love is to be a blessing to your partner, to give with a vulnerability and to weather the storms with a wing of protection. Not every person can truly give love. Now it is time for you to love yourself. Beautiful and sad.

Bonnie the broken heart is one thing all who have ever really lived truly share. Life and love take as much as they give. But if you aren't willing to risk what is probably the inevitable end you never get the truth about what it is to be human. I had a few heart aches over the years .However the true test was at 47 when I got a divorce. It is a painful thing .It almost killed me. But I got back up and went on to live another day. You will too. Dont blame yourself for being hurt. It happens. One inevitably reaches for the branch that SEEMS BETTER OR EASIER.Its not easier its not even better" usually "

Time to wake up for some it is eternal. Within the cosmos we can see you and wish you the best until it is time to truly reveal the moment in which you are welcome forever as a shooting star. Stay strong. Great write.
