she whispers
What becomes of a broken heart?
Can you see the crack from the start?
When it’s finally broke in two
How come the breakings not through?

She asked me these things with tears
Rolling down her pretty face
Smooth despite her years
With her mature grace.

speaking
I don’t have the answers you seek
And it hurts me to see tears on your cheek
I’d make it all right but I don’t know how
I expect you’ll get through it now

So I gave her the best hug I had
Knowing it wasn’t enough to make her glad
But it was all I could do
I had no heart glue

looking back
She hugged her self and bowed her head
Dressed in black sitting with the dead
There was nothing else to say
Except to silently pray.

Very touching! Full of "heart."

Till oceans cease to flow and deserts lose their sands, may beauty surround you every day and wealth be in your hands.
