Resilience of the Heart

Resilience of the Heart And he will come to you like a wind A soft breeze caressing your weary face With a voice full of forevers Words of understanding, polished and molded just for you For on that day, you will have found that elusive special heart The one that matches yours Compassion and empathy its namesake Your heart will proclaim his significance But one day his wind will turn to storm And when you survey the devastation and debris You will know he is not the one And you will doubt the possibility of survival But you will For the heart is resilient and strong You will survive One awful day at a time

Yes, the heart indeed can be easily broken. I've felt the gut wrenching sickness that comes from a betrayal of fidelity. And witnessed the betrayal with my own eyes no less. I weathered a category 5 hurricane that night. But with time, I learned to love again.
