Break My Heart Softly
~*Marge Tindal*~

Darling, tell me, is it true,
that you have found somebody new ?
Someone to hold you in their arms
and tell you of your many charms ?

Is it really a possibility,
that you no longer care for me ?
Don't let me be the last to know.
Break my heart softly as you go.

Must I learn to love another ?
Please do not linger if it's so.
If I must lose your love this way,
tell me now so I will know.

Though it will never be the same,
I won't forget the way you came
into my life with your broken dreams,
needing mending at the seams.

Your broken heart now mended,
you've surely left me blue.
So much for this seamstress,
I'm left with just the threads of you.

So I will gather myself
and find another heart to mend.
But this time - this time
I'm tying knots in the threads !

Marge~

You have a great talent my friend.  The words for this one fail me right now . . .

Marge - I didn't know hearts could be broken softly.  Yours seems pretty strong though.  I love the knots in the threads!   Nice write, as always.

marge,

you wrote my life in this one. it seems that the hearts that give the most are the ones that end up alone.  now, if i could only find the grace and strength that was so beautifully written here, well, perhaps it might not be so harsh.

this was a very good read, Marge..loved the mataphors..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Well, my friend -

Thanks for the tatting !

I pick softly !

It will happen, hon.
Thank you.

Oh, Marge, I wish Your words could help someone very special to me, find a healing message in this poem.  It helps to know there can be a "next time".  I pray for knots!
              Love and hugs,

Nicolette~
I think perhaps each and every heart has been broken at some time~
The mending is what matters most.

Sweet friend ... I hope so too.
There is always a next time.
