Wabi-sabi

When he went away, leaving her that day, She thought her heart would betray… The way it hurt, the way she wanted him to stay. When love meant to last all lifelong, like a song, Joyful and full, then lost in the dark, so wrong, Leaving her alone and afraid, after he’d strung her along. When doubts filled her up, after their breakup, She felt like she’d fallen and would never getup, Like she’d collapsed and so needed a pick-me-up. When he ended what they had, it was just so sad, Like she’d lost the best there was, all the glad, While life moved on, she was lost, nearly mad. When time passed, though, her heart would outlast, All the pain and grief, finding solace at long last, With the knowledge that her healing would holdfast. When life beats you down, remember you won’t drown, In the faded waters of defeat, the darkness all around… You will find your reprieve after the heart’s meltdown. When heartbreak has had her say, all you can do is pray, For the time when love comes back to you, to stay… Washing away the tears with a light that won’t fadeaway.
