Hearts Can't Be Healed

She lays all alone in the darkness curled in a ball on her bed

Longing to be touched and held

Wanting to feel a sweet, tender embrace

Tears stream down her face

Pain from her heart shattering

She would rather feel a physical pain

Rather than the emotional

Things that can’t be seen with the eye

Always seem to hurt the most

It is amazing how much pain the body can take

A physical laceration that can be healed

Scars that can be hidden

Treated with stitches and casts

Pain medication that can ease the discomfort

When a heart shatters it has to heal on it’s own

Some hearts never really heal

Hearts carry scars too

Pain floods back with small triggers

Sometimes triggers can come in a dream

It can even be a small phrase

Even just a look or a lie

For a pain like this, there is no cure

We just go on day to day

Painting the smile on once again

Pretending everything is okay

Until one day we snap

Everything falls apart

It’s hard to start over without looking back

Difficult to trust again

Feeling like broken glass

Until someone shatters you again

Some hearts never heal...

Captured the emotion, the moment and source excellently...then nailed it to a cross!

I would say no heart ever feels. The one cut that never heals. Great piece.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well articulated thoughts and emotions in this piece.
