Linger here in my thoughts
Let me show you what it cost
If you gave me a million dollars
It would be on a token
of my broken heart.
Linger here and you will feel
my arteries begin to harden
and turn black
for lack of showing
any feeling.
Stay awhile be assured
your only catching a glimpse
of the obscure perks
of this trip
for which you only have taken but
a sip.
Linger a minute and you will see
for my hearts scattered,
more than torn into
There's just no more ways
that you can save
a battered heart.

This was heart touching work...I know my
heart felt it...every tear.  You dove deep
for this piece...now swim up for air.  Great
work~

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.

                ~ Oscar Wilde ~

Good advice I think for when you feel torn apart - great poem
