Broken Clocks
The tears that make no sound have never been wept,
And the grief that was not acknowledged has never been mourned.
The promises that were once made in the name of love have never been kept.
Pity for the soul who longed to be held but, suffered and has been scorned.
Brave are those who stood their ground and fought for their love,
For they shall live in no fear and will be remembered for all eternity,
Or they shall bleed from the lost battle but will live a life as free as a dove,
Neither of the battles will assure instant success, but one will lead to infinity.
One heart is yearning while the other is waiting.
One is the love that has never been, while the other is the love that is over.
Over for the one that is already waiting for the one that is occupied with what is coming
But to the one who is still yearning for the one who is waiting, it is just the beginning of forever.
