Whispers Of Our Soul

Heartbreak

Heartbreak
Is not when someone you love
Leaves you
Your heart may crack
But it doesn't break

Hearts are actually quite strong
They can take more than we think
And a lover leaving?
That hardly makes a dent
Even if it feels like it's breaking

Heartbreak
Is when you have been
Knocked down
Too many times in a row
Over an over again

So finally you just lay on the ground
And you say to yourself
I am not getting up
Because what's the point I'm just
Going to fall again?

And you sit there
And you take every kick and punch
Thrown at you
After all, it's much easier to hide
When your on the ground

It gets worse
As you sit
You pray that eventually the
Kicking and hitting will stop
And you will have time to heal

Day after day
Night after night
You make wishes
And send hope
That one day it will all be over

But it doesn't stop
In fact, they kick harder
Leave brighter red streaks
They hit with more force
And leave darker bruises

So after a while, you lose that hope too
And now you just sit
Nothing left inside you
Because you have stopped getting up
And you stopped giving hope

Heartbreak
Is the true meaning of empty
That gut wrenching feeling of being
Alone an hollow inside?
That's what heartbreak is
