Where Does a Broken Heart Go
Where is it that a broken heart goes
To lick its wounds
To mend its soul
Perhaps there is a place
between the ribs and the spine
Maybe it runs there to retreat from the world
There it stays safely tucked away
From all the rejection, bitterness and hate
After it has time to look over its flaws
Regaining strength, poise and pride
It comes forward again, this time with
caution, grace and the skill known as
survival.
