Heart Sounds

Does your heart make a sound when it is breaking? Can you hear with your ears the sound it is making? Does it sound like a train when it is crashing? Or more like it hitting the water and splashing. Is the sound so silent it is curiously deafening And you find yourself wondering what is it thats happening How could this much pain not cause you to scream Shouldn't pain like this come in a violent stream It should wrack your body in painful contortions You should feel it all at once in enormous proportions It should make you cry from pain that seems endless and leave you in a helpless state of distress. But no that"s not the sound that you're hearing Your heart is silent when it is tearing apart from the crushing loss that you feel No sound at all is how you know that it's real You suffer in silence only you know from what No one else can hear this pain in your gut It strikes without warning and without any symptoms You take lots of advice but no medications Only time can heal the pain thats inside to heal what feels like the continental divide but it will heal itself and you will feel better There still is no sound as it comes back together Your heart it is fragile and breaks when its hurt no sound can compare to the hurt you endure But the loudest thing that you hear when its healing Is the sound of a new love, a wonderful feeling.
