A Broken Heart

How do I mend a broken heart?
Shattered by sharp words spoken harsh.


A heart so fragile
And so torn apart.


A stony heart mishandled.
Turned bashful, and punctured
In all its parts.


A heart malnourished,
Void of courage, and highly unstable.
Unencouraged, and nearly disabled.


A playful heart rendered incabable
Of coping with emotions.
Hoping for every thing hopeless.
Tortured by forces spoken and unspoken.
Uncertain of everything
That was once certain.
And searching for shelter
In a place desolate and deserted.


How do I comfort a heart
So hesitant and nervous?


So cautious and removed.


A confused heart
That's learned to be more
Introverted and aloof.


Hiding far from the truth.


How do I soothe a heart
Bruised and teased?


A heart whose locks where broken
With stolen keys.


An open heart with no closure.

Your compassion and desire to WANT to mend this heart is what makes this poem for me. Sometimes so many of us coil into ourselves when we are wounded - I know I have - and we are unreachable (end of story ) but time - patience - understanding - builds trust and then slowly SOMETIMES - that coiled injured heartache begins to unwrap itself and let you put bandages on it - but only SOMETIMES. That is what is so painful - having to accept when it won't happen no matter how hard you try. -Leah

This was an amazing write. You really captured a heart under attack with this stanza.
A playful heart rendered incapable
Of coping with emotions.

Great write.

This piece will haunt me. BEAUTIFULLY written.

This is a brilliant description:
A playful heart rendered incapable
Of coping with emotions.
Hoping for every thing hopeless.
Tortured by forces spoken and unspoken.
Uncertain of everything
That was once certain.
And searching for shelter
In a place desolate and deserted.

100%, Bravo - Kudo's and Yay you.

I'm happy that you want to mend this person's broken heart. I have done this. Pulled my heart back and locked it up, because this person hurt it so badly. That heartbreak killed me inside and I vowed never to let anyone even get the CHANCE to hurt me again. And so even when I crossed paths with a GOOD guy, who wanted to love me, I gave him such a hard time because I did not want to trust anybody. I just couldn't because even the IDEA of someone else hurting me made me want to die. Many of the guys I've encountered gave up on me so quickly because of this. That was partly my fault, and partly something that I couldn't really control at that time. It's nice to know that you are someone who wants to try. It's understandable that you don't know HOW to try, but the fact that you do goes a long, long way.
