Heal the Heart

Heal the Heart

A Poem by Imperfection
"

This is for a friend who will never read it. I wish this message reaches him somehow.

"

I know it’s hard to forget

To erase those memories of the two of you

To throw away pieces of a broken dream

For yours was a love that was so true

 

Some colors grow paler with time

But only if you let them fade away

Let your tears wash away the hue

That is all I want to say

 

Like flowers that wilt when broken from the stem

You must close the chapter with a final seal

Please don’t water the plant of pain

You deserve a chance - a chance to heal.

Great advice. Yes, it's alright to feel the pain at first, let it out a little. Then it's time to put it behind you and move along. To twist a famous movie quote, "These aren't the loves we are looking for." Once they hurt, let them go.

You must close the chapter with a final seal - Wow! What a beautiful simile!
I simply loved the ending, it gave a very good conslusion to the entire poem.
This is really different from your style, and it is the advice at the end which I loved the most about it! :)

How true this is...Some people stay in that place of pain forever and won't allow themselves to go on, and it only hurts them. My heart is saddened for this friend of yours whose heart has obviously been broken. I have always heard this little saying, "Don't nurse it, don't rehearse it, and God will reverse it." Great job...

So well put and such loving kind advice. I love the line "Let you tears wash away the hue"....I hope many people, including the friend it was written for, get to read this. There are so many that "Deserve the chance to heal"...they just sometimes need that gentle reminder that they do truly deserve and need to heal. Gentle words to a harsh topic...I love it. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Interesting......It is a look back on painful memories in order to comfort. At least thats what I see, "making you face the fear to overcome it"
-Some colors grow paler with time
But only if you let them fade away.

beautiful way of showing acceptance & release...Good Work.

Part of caring so deeply is sometimes about having a broken heart - because, unfortunately, not every relationship works out the way we would like. I like this advice - it makes me think of my long marriage that just faded and faded some more.... just can't get certain feelings back - sometimes different feelings but ones of true love, once they are lost.... this really makes me think so I am going to put it in my favs for when I need a mini pep talk to move on....this would do that for me. Thanks!
