Carol Ryan Poet Free verse

You Have Broken My Heart

You have broken my heart
Not because you forget my birthday
Or never send me flowers
Or because you forget to be kind

You have broken my heart
Because you are my son, my life
And because you have forgotten your own heart
And my love is not enough to fix it

Elizabeth Kinch April 16, 2017 at 8:22 AM I could have written this about my son. Thinking of you and feeling your pain. Carol Ryan April 17, 2017 at 12:03 PM Poetry is the perfect vehicle sometimes, isn't it?
