A Single Tear

A single tear slid down my cheek,
as the silent days,
turned into lonely weeks.

How many times can a heart be broken,
before it fails to mend,
or is it so forgiving, that it goes on,
loving until the very end.
 
     Tango.

Well I'll tell ya mine has broke, broke and then re-broke and then I learned the hard way what having your heart really broke feels like - But at the end of all the breaking mine was blessed then healed - I hope this happens for you - God Bless
