Who knew

That he'd make his broken heart look like a masterpiece

Watching as his reasons to live and die

Were castrated from his soul

How could he still continue to stand

Knowing that the ones close to him

Would be his greatest enemy?

Why did such horrific pain happen to a man

Who wanted to love the world

Fell victim to his own hurt 

Causing him to lose his self-worth?

His virtues are now vices

He's wondering how to survive

He used to believe in affirmations

Now his affirmations are tied up in agony

He used to be a dreamer

Dreamt of peace and rainbows

Witnessing how it was raining bows

Arrowing pain as it left the atmosphere

Disruptions of past lovers attempting to reconnect

Thinking if he'd allow them back in

Would it be a blessing or a deep regret?

His dreams transmuted to nightmares

Depression consumed his heart

Despair took over his state of mind

He longed to be fine

Realizing that everything won't be alright

He was guilty of giving his heart to every woman that said "I love you"

Fell into the abyss of sadness

He's asking for help

Dark thoughts carried him like a belt

Holding himself together

Asking God if things would get easier and better

Yet he still smiled

Despite the losses he took

Once worrisome because he worried some

He found beauty for ashes

He's a stronger individual

Still chooses to dream

Though he was broken

He found resilience

Discovered that even broken-hearted dreamers can fly

Who knew that even he can transcribe his pain

And make his poetry all the more beautiful?

I did

I was once that broken hearted man.
