Heal the Heart

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.

I just love this. A brilliant write.... '"to throw away pieces of a broken dream". A broken heart and broken dreams.. shattered. You described the pain and the letting it go to a tee!
