Notes About The Poem

A Broken Heart

She had dreaded these moments
Long before they came around
Moments of grief and despair
With whispers of disillusionment
Thrown in there for a peppering
Of confusion and trepidation
Feelings that felt so very forbidden

He walked away from her love
Without even saying goodbye to her
Leaving her with only the loss
Of these sweet moments that
Penetrated her imagination with
Joy from being a part of his world
The girl who he’d chosen to love

She missed him like imagination
Wouldn’t possibly comprehend of
Her heart longed for him with a 
Suffering that grasped for hope
The way music longs for the note
That welcomes it into harmony
With an inspiration of pure love

Desperate and defeated, she had
Retreated into herself, deep inside
The desperation and sensitive place
Where discouragement grew stronger
And her heart felt lost in the hole
Where anger and bitterness took
Hold of her spirit and hung on

It would be many years before
Hostility and resentment moved on
Leaving her heart with only remorse
For the years she’d spent wanting
More, more than she had within her
Where lived the faith in God’s Son
The answer to her animosity and angst

Faith freed her spirit from the grasp
Of desperation and disenchantment
Memories of a past that slowly grew
To make her realize she had it within
Her heart, all the love that she sought
And should have been giving to others
As the Holy Spirit had given to her

Healed, she was wiser than before
Alive inside where she could go
To discover the answers to her hurt
And the comfort for worries dissolved
By the love that was like no other
Love that came from God’s Son
And helped her to heal from all pain

Jeannie Flinn Furlong November 29, 2020 at 7:06 AM Very nice poem, well expressed, about a difficult period renewed to find a better life! I, like many, have been right there suffering and rebuilding and healing. As it's been said, "bad things happen to good people". Perhaps, that's what leads the way we search to be better person!
