Beginning of the End

a broken heart ceases to beat

A hole in my chest where my heart once lay,

Despite what I do this pain won't go away,

Wounds so deep and soul left broken,

Your words remain a sorrowful token.

Down and out,

On an empty route,

My journey ends here,

With one last glistening tear.

Content to forever sleep,

Hollow inside without a peep,

The warmth now seems so distant,

Expression left cold, blank, and vacant.

No one to share,

No one to care,

I could no longer pretend,

And that proved to be,

The beginning of the end.

I like the flow of your words . . . they remind me of a gently murmuring brook in a Japanese garden. I also like the message in this poem; always guard your heart well--time has taught me that one, again and again
