How much can it take before it breaks... Your Heart that is.

Such a sacrid place
deep within your soul,
instead of rythmic beating
its leaving a big hole.

So much has happened
so many things going on,
Just when you pick yourself up
another thing goes wrong.

How does your heart handle
all the hurt and the tears,
How does it keep on beating
throughout these painful years.

Expressions,
are the most important aspects, they create impressions

Later you will understand that this pain only makes us stronger. Until then, write and we will read ... and we will all be the stronger for it.

Write on!

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Honestly, no offense to anyone elses view, I don't much buy the pain makes us stronger theory. Maybe at times and to a degree this is true but for myself, pain is pain is pain...doing what pain does...hurt. And eventually if it goes on long enough it will weaken, damage, break a heart. Perhaps working through the pain makes us stronger but not the pain itself. All that said...I enjoyed your poem and understood it well.

Such a soft and sorrowful verse Fee, delicate and questioning. It is indeed difficult to fathom that the pain will ease down the road, and yet, our hearts beat on, and we somehow carry on. Many hugs to you for this tender write ...

Best wishes,
/Kit
