A Broken Heart
I am the woman
Whose heart cried
Life began with love
Only to soon find
I’d be silenced
By the pain
In shadows, stirring
Echoes of lost prayer
Fading like a gentle rain
Yearning for the lost
Love – that woman
Who always knew
Her dreams died
With the goodbye
Unspoken but burning
On lips he passed by
A deathlike kiss
Rejection, the twist
Love lost by a heart
Shattered and lost
That is the cost of
Love’s promise
When it is cracked
Poured out to the dark
No stardust to quiet
The tears pouring out
The sacrifice – a broken heart!
