There\'s more to a man with a broken heart
than the few tears he will shed.
Sure, he’s lost his lover
and the passion is dead.
But, he’s left with a life to live and more to give.
A few broken promises, broken pledges, and an oath or two
cannot kill the hope within his heart.
The tears, his fears, the broken trust
the, “some days” that will never be.
What was broken in, now broken down.
His happy face is now a broken frown.
But, inside, at his core, his spirit thrives.
The essence of a man is still alive.
His soul will survive because it must.
In his mind, he finds a dream or two
a wish perhaps, or a purpose…maybe.
Something real that he can cling to
a long forgotten past, someone he may see
a long ago lover, that, perhaps, could set him free.
He shouts her name as though he’s made a discovery.
She turns and nudges him, to wake him from his dream.
