You Have Broken My Heart, Part 2

You Have Broken My Heart, Part 2

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 
My son
My life

You have forgotten your own heart
And my love is not enough to fix it

Maybe in fact,
It is I
Who Have Allowed
My Heart to be broken.

Maybe it is I
Who needs to learn to 
Spread the wings of my Heart
And embrace all there is beyond

Maybe it is I
Who has yielded you the power
To bestow a broken heart

And maybe it is I
who can health my heart and someday
Yours
