A fragile heart & the fragile mind

She knew she had a fragile heart

But from her life was a missing part

A person she felt she must find

But the one she found had a fragile mind

It seemed at first their dreams came true

From the dark a new light shone through

Happiness had now been found

But sadly it didn’t stick around

At first it seemed that all was well

He could break the unhappy spell

Adventures, fun and happiness

But soon content turned to stress

She fought with demons from the past

He fought for their perfect life to last

She started letting history win

And he realised he wasn’t well within

They’d thrown in all that they could give

But that was no healthy way to live

There was a fight and then he left

And for their love she was left bereft

So now the fragile heart is torn

And new heartbreak has been born

The fragile mind has closed the door

Because it couldn’t see what it saw before

So unexpected the story ends

With an offering to ‘still be friends’

She’s angry, hurt, betrayed, confused

For fragility has made them lose

The games, the love, the ‘happy sound’

And now neither will be around

To listen, to love, to replace the pain

And the search for strength must begin again

She knew they hadn’t been as good

As they could be, as she knew they should

When filled with love her fragile heart was fine

But now she too has a fragile mind.
