I know prayers can't unbreak my heart I know wishes won't bring you back

Written for a friend in mourning. Loss is a very personal thing. No one can grieve for you. No one can take away your pain or unbreak your heart. Only time, transmutation and healing can help. But nothing ever fixes things. The scar tissue just helps us a little bit whilst we try to survive and get by. Hopefully, in time, we are able to see the beauty in the Universe again. Please try to remember to look up at the stars. Hugs and love. I know prayers can't unbreak my heart (I know wishes won't bring you back) By Michelle Morris 08/12/2023 Today I pretended to be human Just like the days before Despite my heart being trapped in a cage And my soul beyond Earth having fallen For the loss of you weighs me down Deep into the darkest abyss There where no Light shines There where monsters lurk So much grief swirls around that place So many memories can drown in tears And long before we know it Our heartbreak has thorns we fear Prickly and difficult to handle The roses of love and hope having died Round and round the thoughts go What more we could've done when they were alive But the past is the past for a reason We can't turn back the hands of time And the future will never be golden If we don't embrace the love in our lives And still, I struggle with this every day Because at the moment I'm still pretending I know that the choices are mine And maybe in time I will comprehend it But life is a gift to each of us I know this deep down in my soul But while my heart is still broken It might take a long time until I'm whole There'll always be scar tissue that aches On those rainy days when we used to dance in the rain And until we meet again I'll work on transmuting my pain I know prayers can't unbreak my heart I know wishes won't bring you back But I will remember you every day I love and miss you stacks © Michelle Morris, 2023
