Notes About The Poem

Broken Heart

It’s sad that, sometimes, when love happens
It happens to one and not two
One falls madly into the joyful passion
While the other is merely amused

When this happens, hearts are broken
Though they will likely heal
It’s no stretch of the imagination to say
Love like this just feels so real

But, whatever the reason or why that cries
Out to the hurting heart who is betrayed
There is a tenderness of gentle thoughts
That make the pain finally go away

It’s sad that love can’t always be filled
With truth between two who adore
But sometimes it is a simple outpouring
From one heart giving and another taking

When this happens, there is no reason to fear
The loss will be so desperate and tearful
Yet the loser will know that it was all for the best
Because it wasn’t someone of God’s choosing

Whatever happens and whatever comes
Love that isn’t felt from both lovers is a sin
That amends by being caught up within
By pain, despair and grief that comes to them

It’s sad that love isn’t always between two
Who love without conditions, love that is true
But sometimes one person isn’t who they pretend
And this brings the love relationship to an end

Bets are most of us had more than one heartbreak, we sometimes choose the wrong folks. Hopefully, we learn from mistakes. Most everyone I know survives this. Some, more than once. It's part of maturing. Nobody dies from this. It's like learning to ice skate and not a sin. In fact, makes one wiser. Panagiota

"One falls madly into the joyful passion While the other is merely amused" - this is sadly true in many more cases than we ever want to think about.

Well done Regina. Sad this happens a lot. One ends up loving the other more and its so hard on the heart
