Eyes, Heart, Soul, Mind; Survivor

Sorrowful eyes, sorrowful heart. 
The river that crosses her cheeks, 
The ocean that goes to the ground. 
Drown her sorrows in that ocean. 

Lonely heart, lonely soul. 
Winter in imagination, 
The same season as his heart. 
Break the ice, heal the heart. 

Forgiving soul, forgiving mind. 
One apology and she has him back. 
No lesson learned, 
No hurts forgotten. 

Strong mind, strong heart. 
A thousand whips, 
No bruise recovered. 
Yet, every bruise remembered. 

Loving heart, loving soul. 
The former is not enough, 
The pain never goes. 
No love reciprocated. 

She knows her joy, 
She knows herself. 
Don't need another to complete her. 
She has survived, 
What's one heartbreak?
