The Sound Of A Heart Breaking The room cold........... filled with exhausted silence. A light flickering casting ghostly silhouettes. The only sound is the beating of a heart- Someone's heart breaking Don’t you hear the cry of pain? The Keening. Listen! Sobbing, curled in a cocoon of sadness. Hear the cracking as if it where slices of ice on a winters pond- Breaking into millions of tiny little pieces Being crushed as if of no importance The labored breath The uncontrollable sob of torment. Listen! Can you not console this weary soul? Can you not lift their tired spirit to the point of starting to heal? Always in a hurry, running through life. Not noticing the beauty nor the pain. Listen! Don’t you hear the crashing of your tears pounding upon the pavement of life? Don’t you gentle reader Hear the breaking of your own tender heart? Love Bon-Bon  |

Sometimes there is no consolation to give... but we can always listen... though listening to our own heart is pain we often avoid. *S* Beautiful write, sweet lady! *S* |
