All The Heartbreak
I Can Take

She called me to ask me
if I knew how long we
had been apart.

I addressed her question
to my broken heart.

My heart cringed,
but my heart did
not hesitate.

"Tell her I've had
all the heartbreak
that I can take."

Thank you Roniece and Cruina for the nice responses...
Never have closed my heart to love but sometimes you have to step back to heal or reevaluate...James

Ohhhh, I really do like this piece!

Clap Clap Clap Clap

That is applause for the smart "heart" that responded so very well.  

Enough ... is enough!
