The heart that is broken

the world is full

of broken hearts

full of people who have hoped

and loved

and given their all

and trusted

and then

sadly

ended up alone

the one loved

has walked away

turned to someone else

chased after other things

the one loved has
moved on
to what is next
call it heaven

or simply departed from one's life
for reasons
no one can control

but they are gone

and

how painful it is

yet

the broken heart means

something tried

something sought

it means that one gave it all

and trusted

and risked

and in that trusting and risking

in those moments of being open

something happens

something that makes us who we are

who we want to be

much better than being frozen

by fear
