A True Broken Heart is not from Love

Teddy.15

 

And as I trudge my way through

the darkest of moments

I say moments

because life is full of these moments

isn't it?

moments that pass eventually

even when it seems the bad memories

  remain for life?

they are in fact just phases

phases that teach us about ourselves

a tool if you like, that helps us grow

well, having survived bad love

I now seem to be able to write about it

and as I write about my once truly broken heart

and all the excruciating pain and grief I've endured

when it felt my life was being poured down the drain

from the gutter along with the dirty rain

the horrific feeling and realization

that I may never be the same me, I once was?

and in turn

the moment when everything changed for the better

because I had the courage to change it

I have come to the final of finales of reflection

as I now know the grand secret

that nobody ever tells us

when we feel we are suffering a broken heart

 

a heart my friends…

is but a muscle.

        Indeed it is and it pumps that life giving fluid to the brain that interprets all giving us those feelings. A poem that speaks of those feeling present and past and lessons learned. A most heartfelt work

              This is raw, heartfelt, and beautifully reflective. Your journey from heartbreak to empowerment is deeply moving, and the ending—reminding us of the heart's resilience—is pure brilliance.

              • Teddy.15

                Thank you so much. 🌹

                For something that is relatively small in size, the heart can certainly dish out some pain. Heart break can’t be eased either with a dose of paracetamol. I haven’t come across anyone yet who has died from a broken heart, though I know many who have suffered real heartache through loss and grief. A poem dear Teddy which is truly relatable. Beautifully penned 🌹

                • Teddy.15

                  Thank you dearest Cassie, Relatively small in size indeed too cause so much havoc. Thank you for your compassion dear poet friend. 🌹

                          another true-to-life poem from the pen of Teddy;

                          every line breathes as life itself.

                          • Teddy.15
