Once your pain gets put on display
for the perusal of the world;
a broken heart
devastates dreamers,
as reality sinks in.
Love cannot be granted;
it can only be accepted or rejected.
And there are no simple answers
or shortcuts past the pain or shame
it may leave in its wake, should it move on.
Truth confronts lies and hopes
in their totality;
with a wanting heart.
And yet, empty promises
roll off the tongue
as they drift quietly into memory;
slipping into oblivion without making a sound.
A wounded soul is slow to heal;
for forever feelings, fester,
within subconscious dreams.
You come to grips with your fear;
however, the pain lingers;
and so, you wall off your heart,
barring love from ever entering it again.
