Broken

Broken are my wings that would help me fly away..
Broken are the promises you make to me each day..
Broken are my feelings because of what I hear people say and..
Broken is my spirit when there is nobody there to lend me a hand..
Broken are my bones that put me in this wheelchair..
Broken are the memories as I think of the past here and there..
Broken is my faith that was once so very important to me..
Broken is the woman that in front of you is a broken down me you now see..
Buffy Sammons..

I do understand your brokenness. I feel broken, but now not so much. My husband cheated on me on one of our travels. He looked guilty but said nothing. Now when i meet someone one day.. the question I will ask myself.. Will i trust? Oh I hope so. Have a nice evening my friend.

It sounds too broken to be fixed. Ouch! Writing is therapy for writer and reader. Thank you.

Dear Buffy, My heart goes to you as I read this your emotionally charged material. It is not the heart that is broken, the heart never breaks or broken but it experiences unbearable pain. And it grows, expands as it experiences pain after pain, and become stronger and tender for more compassion and more love! Keep in touch. Ase
