Broken - Living With Heartache

Each breath she takes, her heart aches, Her love has left, she feels bereft, Precious lives lost, dreams of a happy home tossed, Days and nights spent weeping without sleeping, Alone in a throng, she is not strong, Smiling behind her tears, whiling away her years, With a pen and a book in her favourite nook, Amidst the overgrown vines, her heart for her love pines, Each step she takes, her heart aches, With memories left behind by ties that forever bind, Their deadly silence stabs her, as loneliness grabs her, She is no longer awake, she dies each day living with heartache.

Well composed poem on the depths and pain filled reality of a broken heart my friend! Sadly, an experience that I in my youth had far too many times.. " Their deadly silence stabs her, as loneliness grabs her, She is no longer awake, she dies each day living with heartache." Another fav for me, as this sad gem ,hits the nail right on the head..

As a poem that expresses the grief of the heart which has lost the object of its love, is magnificently touching my dearest , Jo! The question that comes up is this: Is it worth suffering for someone who has betrayed us and our love? My answer is NO! He doesn't deserve a single tear!
