He Said


he said he was heart broken
I knew just what he meant
bent inside out outside in
beyond all human control
my own particular weakness
for behind my head held my heart

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

when your skin is turned outside in
when turmoil seethes and boils within
when your heart's shattered past repair
and your hurts feel too much to bear
when happy seems forever gone
when night lingers and there's no dawn
when you've been done so very wrong
you will prevail - for you are strong
when good days are but memory
and pain is constant company
remember, you will rise again
a phoenix - hang tough, you will win!

Hugs to you, my friend... with hopes you'll forgive the lousy verse of a response. *S*
