Heartbroken, Yet Love Remains

"I'm not sure if the love that brought us together was worth the pain that tore us apart." ~ Boomsumo.com I have to unlearn what some label 'love' not the kind that coos like a turtle dove That's the type of romance that makes you dance But I was struck by lightning from above with emotions that never had a chance It roared like thunder deep inside my heart Couldn't bear the moments we were apart It was difficult breathing without him His name a prayer at every day's start From sunrise until twilight had grown dim I quickly stitched my love into his world With silver threads that were gently uncurled Never had I been outspoken or bold but passion's arrows at us had been hurled and those silver threads quickly turned to gold Sorrowfully, some threads break when they're frayed And although it ended, for him I prayed His friend, his lover and then his never The fault was mine to take, I am afraid A love born and died yet lives forever Heartbroken, I need to unlearn his name How to forgive myself for I'm to blame How to stop seeing his face in my dreams, to keep breathing when nothing is the same when our golden threads were ripped from their seams Sonnets are written of love, not of pain Tell my heart not to ever love again, my hand not write of love for another, I, not be struck by lightning in the rain Heartbroken, I feel that I shall smother Tell me how to unlearn love, I beseech Is mending a heart something one can teach? Should I bury mine in an unmarked grave? Heartbroken, love is not within my reach What we once shared, neither of us could save
