If I Had a Broken Heart

If broken is the name I take, All for my shattered heart, I will tie it up with twine, Rest it upon stolen bark, Set it to sail on a river, And wait for it to get dark. Losing you ripped at me, Set fire to my veins, Now when you come to mind, Tears emerge and I'm filled with pain, You were my beautiful wife, And now I wish death were my gain. Now I'll follow the shore, To find my precious shards, I'd let the wind carry me, If you had gotten that far, Just because losing myself, Wouldn't be extremely hard. I'll follow the spirits, Just to say to you my dear, You're always with me, Even though I'm full of fear, You haven't really left me, I know you're always near. So if broken is the name I take, All for my shattered heart, You can watch me tear up my insides, Until I'm finally ripped apart, No matter what happens, though, I'll always be searching the dark.

This is a very sad write. it's hard to let go of special ones in our lives. Jesus is the only answer. He is there and cares for your aching heart and soul.
