Broken

A dark poem about a heart that won't heal

Broken

 

 

Broken hearts don’t always mend,

Scattered dreams blown on the wind,

Songs we sung so long ago,

Shall be all I’ll ever know,

 

Once the sun it shined so bright,

Silver stars twinkled at night,

And your breath upon my cheek,

Pulled me through the hardest week,

 

Then the day your kiss turned sour,

I can still recall the hour,

Love that before had been mine,

Given now to one so fine,

 

Handsome, tall and fair of speech,

Pulling you far from my reach,

How you turned and mocked me then,

Nevermore to love again,

 

Prosperity is your star,

Wealth and fame - you’ve journeyed far,

Children born and houses built,

Tears for me you never spilt,

 

As the years turn now to grey,

Though the memories do stay,

Sure release comes to my head,

Broken hearts don’t haunt the dead,

 

Soon I will be free from you,

No more hurt then can you do,

On this earth no more to trod,

Comforted by loving God

Yes, broken hearts don't always mend...but God is always there for the broken ones. His heart is closer to those who are in gloom. And He always comfort them with love that comes in mysterious ways.

Thinking about a heart who wanted to be unchained from a harmful bond...it is not easy but like what true friends say, "God did not create love in order to harm people". If someone hurts you, then he/she doesn't love you, and don't deserves your love anyway.

Glad you made another poetry piece here, Eddie. Well-done!

Thank you, Dhaye.

So, in one of my English classes in high school, there was a game to reading poetry. It was to read the last few lines, guess the poem, and see if the poem lives up to it's ending... Your poem did. It was not what I had expected from reading the last lines first, but it was very well written. Thank you for sharing it and I can't wait to read more of your work!

Thank you, I am not really much of a poetry writer, but I do appreciate your kind words.

Many times, the shell has to be broken to see the potentials life wants you to have beyond your little cell.

In omnibus amare et servire Domino.

Thank you, and Amen.
