You Broke My Heart and I Bloomed

You broke my heart, and I fell deep, Into the cracks where shadows sleep. The pain was sharp, the nights were long, Yet in that dark, I found my song. For in the ruins, a seed was sown, A quiet strength I’d never known. The pieces scattered on the floor Became the roots I’d grown toward. With every tear that stained my face, I built the woman I now embrace. The hurt you left was bitter, true, But from that soil, my spirit grew. I bloomed, not in spite, but because, Of all the pain that tore and was. For in the silence, I found my voice, And in the loss, I made my choice. To rise, to stand, to love again, To heal the wound, to free the chain. You broke my heart, and that was kind, For now I see the strength you couldn’t find.
