The Stitches of my Broken Heart

through pain we gain strength...through healing we get stronger....and we grow into the person we are to be.....

The Stitches of my Broken Heart

You think you got the best of me

I think I got the wounds to show

You came and took the world from me

But you don’t even know

I gave you everything when you were here

And more you took in time

The scars are there forever

But the stitches, they are mine

 

My broken heart took time to heal

The pain is something I’ll always feel

The stitches, you can never steal

You’ll never again have the chance

I gave to you my world one day

And you, well, never came to play

Now I’ve healed enough to stay

The song, no longer yours to dance

 

I held on for some time now

And you won’t have a clue

You’ve left me on a trail of tears

Now they belong to you

And I’ll go on without you more

For you no longer own a part

The game you played, and never stayed

To see the stitches of my broken heart

 

Now I am stronger than before

And love, I’ll come to find

And you, just a point of reference

I’ve learned in my mind

And we’ll always have a bond

Something you will never know

But the stitches of my broken heart

Allowed me strength to grow

Awww, so good. Beautiful emotions. You've capture it through your words. I think everyone could relate to this. Having someone or something that is very dear to us and then be the reason to break our hearts but in the end it'll teach us lessons and make us stronger than we ever think of. Yay! So beautifully written, A very good one. :D

omg.. i love the flow of this. I agree with you. Love does make us strong but the pain of love can break us apart. The pain we feel from love can makes us grow and want to be better. This is magnificient!!! =) I love this soooo muchhhh!!!

Love indeed makes us stronger, though letting go can be pretty tough. I loved the entire rhyme scheme, how you maintained a beautiful flow throughout, and elicited your emotions with an aura of honesty, with a tone of optimism in the end. I loved this piece as a whole, really enjoyed reading, and the ending was just perfect. Flawless writing.

a touching piece, Don. I wonder why pain lingers even when the scar fades away we still feel the freshness of that pain.. And yet through that we gain courage to stand up and be once again a hero who defeated pain....
