They say hearts can't be broken.
You've proven their words untrue.
My heart was shattered in tiny bits
When it came back from you.

I gave you love, you toyed with it,
And tossed it back to me.
It now lies in a sodden heap
Of utter misery.

Only true love can mend a heart
That has been so abused.
Does someone want a tattered heart
That's been so badly used?

I'm glueing it, re-filling it
And hanging it out to dry.
When I think it has recovered,
I'll give love another try.

Good outlook Joyce ... one should never give up on love because of bad experiences, true love cures all when it is finally found

enjoyed

Thank you Rex.  I have this all behind me, but we all have our hearts broken a few times before we find the real thing.  Joyce

Joyce: Sad little poem, but at least there is hope in the end of a healed heart and another chance at love.  Remarkable organ isn't it?

The one shows great strength and character.  Having your heart broken is never easy.  I hope you find the happiness and love you deserve.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Joyce; Been there too, but have learned that only through a broken heart, do we gain the wisdom to truly know what unconditional love is all about! Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
