Feelings of a Heart That's Aching

A trackless train, no destination
     A soul stretched to the point of breaking
Confusion without revelation

Feelings of a heart that’s aching

In blackness, pain, no commutation
     A sleep from which there is no waking
Delusion without consolation

Feelings of a heart that’s aching


Oh, the broken heart, 
              In splinters, pieces scattered
Heal, oh broken heart
              Though torn apart and battered

Wow Mike! This is amazing! And when you are there it is hard to realize that it won't always be that way. Wonderfully descriptive lines make me feel this sadness and despair. Another great work from you :) ~Judy

You express such sorrow in this poem Mike! For the sake of love do we chance heartbreak. But it is true that time is the best healer. A piece that pierces the heart! xxoo
