Where Do Lonely Hearts Go?
~*Marge Tindal*~



Where do lonely hearts go
to find a place to break?
Show me how to get there
before it is too late.

Not wanting to be seen
by happy faces when I cry.
Where do lonely hearts go
to unload their lonely sigh?

It must be by the seashore
where the waves are always breaking.
Carried by the undertow
hearts drowning in the aching.

No lifeguard on patrol,
no rescue overhead.
Where do lonely hearts go
when love is surely dead?

Along the water's edge,
sandcastles in the sand,
dashed and smashed
by a scorned lovers hand.

Where do lonely hearts go?
I wish I didn't have to know.
Giving up to sure surrender,
where do breaking hearts go?

Broken into a thousand pieces,
floating out to sea
the tide turns and brings
my broken heart back to me.

Like broken shells I find them
scattered round my feet.
Where do broken hearts go
to end the misery?

Gathered by a new lover
making footprints in the sand,
my broken heart now rests
in another's gentle hand.

Kit~
Thank you.  And I would like to add that this little piece was originally inspired
by a post I read by Danny Holloway.
That's one of the neatest things that we get from reading the works of others.
INSPIRATION ! ... I thank each and every poet who has ever given me a glimmer of inspiration ... who placed words in my pen that I just had to write.
What joy is this 'home'.

Marge; I love this poem! I love she shore and I love the ending. WOW! In the book it must go. Love, Ellie

that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
