Where Do Broken Hearts Go

Where do they go with broken hearts
For the ones whose life now departs
Do they look for comfort from inside
Or look to ones with whom they can abide

These arms that wrap around them
Steel themselves for the end
And when they finally go away
We beg and plead for them to stay

Take heart for they can remain
In your memories now sustained
To look for them as years go by
Again to meet and embrace on high.
