Heartaches

Some broken hearts will never mend
for souls are swept by varied storms-
loss of sweet love and lives that end-
heartache comes in different forms.

Along my way today I found
some broken hearts will never mend;
everywhere fractured lives abound
with grief we cannot comprehend.

They struggle to the bitter end
wearing their happy disguises;
some broken hearts will never mend
and they come in many sizes.

It could be you, it could be me,
the soul whose heartache does not end
so let kindness your watchword be;
some broken hearts will never mend.

That is lovely, I'm not sure I'd come across the Quatern, but that's really nice!
