A Wounded Heart

It’s like a room you sweep and can never get all the dirt out. Like an important message you can never understand, no matter how loud they shout. It’s like life that repeats itself over and over again, When it’s wounded there is no cure. So why would you want to see it through to the end. Like a scar you can barely see but you know that it’s there. Like the memories you forgot yet scared to search elsewhere. Some say it heals in time, I say no, for it never leaves the mind. We yearn for happiness and rob ourselves blind, you compromise and displease yourself to give a peace of mind, and the moment something arises they neglect all the signs. It’s like a race you start and can never complete. It’s like walking into fire but you can’t even see it. Everyone has a different story or a different blend, but when something is broken, how can it be mend again? I should’ve seen that you were trouble right from the start. I’ve learned so many lessons. Like never to mess with a broken heart, A future that bares the past requires much more than faith. A heart that was once broken is fragile and is easier to break.
