What Is the Chance?

A broken heart is impossible to completely mend 
                                                         that part was destroyed,
                                                        but  will always hold a place,
                                                       Other things can fill that void, 
                                                  some things can even soften the hurt
                                             But no matter how hard one tries to move on, 
                                                                one is forever changed
                                             forever left remembering the times before, 
                                                      when the sun seemed brighter
                                  How does one pick up the pieces and put them back together? 
                                              One may feel like a puzzle with a missing part
                                                     nothing could ever take the place, 
                                                     or fit as perfectly as the original piece
                                                           And one will forever search
                                                      for any piece that comes remotely close
                                                     Ones heart can break many times
                                but each time there is more room for the heart to grow colder 
                                 And slowly the heart falls away from where it used to be
                                                       once snuggled against God, 
                                   now in the dark barely catching a glimpse of God's power 
                                              Dreams that once seemed so close and possible, 
                                            are now realized only as dreams and mere chances.
