somebody's dungeon

Each time it shattered
some pieces were lost
in the mending of my heart
each time it fell apart.

So it grew ever weaker
as it became smaller
but mend it I tried
with the tears I cried.

Every time it cracked
it would spread rapidly
until it just shattered
until nothing mattered.

I came to the conclusion
this heart made of glass
just needed to be changed
it's atoms rearranged.

So I built another one
this one out of love
the strongest force known
especially when it's shown.

It takes the pain better
it hasn't shattered yet
if broken..it will mend
for this love can never end.

I chose it for this reason
this love strong and true
to build me a heart brave
with all the love you gave.

Oh this is so lovely, Anne...
I love the idea of re-building a heart.

WhiteRose~
Lovely~

I've usually found that when my heart broke -
it gave me more pieces of it to give away~
I am more for the giving~

Yay! Oh Anne, this is wonderful, yes, always believe in love and do whatever it takes to hold onto it for if it remains it is meant to be! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Anne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

My goodness, you're a prolific writer---and a good one at that.

The message inherent in these lines, should  well be heeded by the broken-hearted.
