Heartbroken, Yet Love Remains
"I'm not sure if the love that brought us together
was worth the pain that tore us apart." ~ Boomsumo.com
I have to unlearn what some label 'love'
not the kind that coos like a turtle dove
That's the type of romance that makes you dance
But I was struck by lightning from above
with emotions that never had a chance
It roared like thunder deep inside my heart
Couldn't bear the moments we were apart
It was difficult breathing without him
His name a prayer at every day's start
From sunrise until twilight had grown dim
I quickly stitched my love into his world
With silver threads that were gently uncurled
Never had I been outspoken or bold
but passion's arrows at us had been hurled
and those silver threads quickly turned to gold
Sorrowfully, some threads break when they're frayed
And although it ended, for him I prayed
His friend, his lover and then his never
The fault was mine to take, I am afraid
A love born and died yet lives forever
Heartbroken, I need to unlearn his name
How to forgive myself for I'm to blame
How to stop seeing his face in my dreams,
to keep breathing when nothing is the same
when our golden threads were ripped from their seams
Sonnets are written of love, not of pain
Tell my heart not to ever love again,
my hand not write of love for another,
I, not be struck by lightning in the rain
Heartbroken, I feel that I shall smother
Tell me how to unlearn love, I beseech
Is mending a heart something one can teach?
Should I bury mine in an unmarked grave?
Heartbroken, love is not within my reach
What we once shared, neither of us could save
