An Ode To Broken Hearts

Weary am I


My body numb and my soul drained


The wind is heartless, heavy and cold


I know not why I feel this way


My head says I'm alive but my heart says otherwise


I know the love I know has ended


Many a tear have I shed, my feelings wounded


I lie here with a last and lonely tear


My eyes have shed all they could and none left to spare


My life shall never be the same


I close my eyes red and dry


My love has ended I whisper one last time


Time passes Time flies Tempus fugit


I awake from my slumber, my heart still bitter


But at least my heart accepts that what once was is now over


I crawl first and then stumble


I must stand, I will stand, I stand


The sun is rising, the stars twinkle one last time


My heart is warm, my feet steady and my eyes firm


I watch the sunrise in all its splendor, majestic and divine


My heart feels warmer and lighter


All it takes to start a fire is a tiny ember


I feel hope embraced by the light


I will love again and I will be loved


My heart accepts this gesture like a mother embracing her infant


I look ahead, the road is still long


My journey has just begun and I know not what tidings life will bring


But this I know, my heart belongs to me now


Its price too high to give it to another


Perhaps one day it will find a worthy owner


But today, I look back one last time


And I smile


Then move on, the memory only silhouette


To the road long gone
