"To live and learn from a broken heart"


                                               Bottled up behind a soul..
                                               Running streams of tears that rolled..
                                               Over and over words echo in halls..
                                               Knowing the truth as small trees fall..
                                               Empty words fall on closed ears..
                                               Never hidden in a sea of fears..

                                               Hands of love cup my face..
                                               Enough sadness for me to taste..
                                               Aftermath of a crisis makes me strong..
                                               Rising above from what was wrong..
                                               To live and learn from a broken heart..
