I know that someday this will go away. I have been here too many times NOT to know that. I just hate the process. Tonight I cannot sleep. He plagues me. My mind is like a video that I cannot turn off, and it constantly runs; to things I had forgotten about, wanted to forget about, tried to forget about. I try to submerse myself in work or my writing, my packing, anything to take my mind off him, and still, he sneaks in. Just enough to pluck at my heart strings, just enough to make them sing in agony!
Broken hearts
It’s when you love someone
And they won’t love you back
And when you know they do
It’s their own trust they lack
You give them all you have to give
And still they walk away
You reach out to show them more
But they’re not here today.
Your heart breaks – it cries out
Don’t leave me here alone
Yet still they turn their back on you
As if you were made of stone.
There are no words to tell you
How a broken heart will feel
I only hope you never know
The long time it takes to heal.
I do not think that mine can be
Ever healthy or whole again
It’s been broken so many times this life
All it’s even known is pain.
I’ll pick up all the pieces
And safely tuck them all away
I’ll put them on a shelf somewhere
To be mended another day.
I’ll hold that love inside of me
For it’s all that I have left
Just memories and pictures
And a heart that is bereft
