Betty Ladd Poet Rhyme

My Hearts Hope

My Hearts Hope

There's a hairline fracture in my heart
That divides my heart in two
One half is the painful side
Forever hurt and blue

The other half is full of hope
And belief that love is real
It helps me forget my painful part
It prods me to believe and heal

That broken half has forgotten
It only remembers the pain
It bleeds and aches in spasms
In fear of being hurt again

Some broken hearts never truly mend
But there's one thing I know for sure
A broken heart that mends can't be broken again
It's too strong as love is the cure
