The Broken Heart - Where Do I Start?

Kerplunk!  

The ship has sunk. 

I am drowning in pain, 

I’m going insane. 

 

Thoughts become the ache, 

That I feel as I wake. 

The loss is like paralyses, 

An ocean of analysis. 

 

Move damn limb! 

A message, it's not him.  

The void is crushing, 

My wound is gushing.  

 

Our favourite song, 

But I can’t sing along, 

What is to become, 

Of a life so numb? 

 

The sun shines, 

I close the blinds. 

The darkness raids, 

The soul’s everglades.  

 

I allow the darkness to be, 

It is my liberty. 

And then from within, 

A light so thin. 

 

I sidle nearer, 

To the light bearer. 

And as I breach the space, 

I find a wonderful place. 

 

The warm glow, 

A feeling I know, 

Home to the heart, 

That is broken in part. 

 

How can light exist? 

When he is painfully missed? 

For this loss was meant, 

To see me utterly spent. 

 

But I am in fact, 

Incredibly intact. 

With a new zest for life, 

And no one’s wife. 

 

Are you suggesting? 

That I wasted years detesting? 

Lessons of the heart? 

Which created a kickstart? 

 

To all that I can be, 

When I invest in the love that is me, 

And realise my power, 

Amidst the deepest, darkest hour. 

 

I stand alone, 

But I have grown,

Impermanence anew,

Life is more than You.
