Broken Hearts : Sad Poetry

written by Poet : louis_in_nc


In all the world, throughout all time

The human race could never find

A way to save the hearts of men

From breaking every now and then

 

It’s part of life or so they say

It happens each and every day

From losing love when needed most

To losing faith in the Holy Ghost

 

The pain we feel so deep inside

Is sometimes called the death of pride

It detaches you from those you love

And extinguishes the light above

 

It makes you turn inside yourself

Diminishing your life and health

It tears away at your very soul

And places you in a darkened hole

 

Yet each and every broken heart

That sorrow’s touch has ripped apart

Remembers how to be made whole

With love anew from a caring soul

 

Only a heart that bears these scars

Can truly reach for distant stars

The lessons learned in times of pain

Can raise your soul to a higher plain

 

It humbles us and lets us see

The greater good in humanity

A world in which we all can thrive

And keep our hopes and dreams alive

 

A heart that has never been hurt

Has never loved, it sits inert

It has no compassion, no empathy

And can never learn from history

 

Remember this when you feel down

And that inner smile is but a frown

The heartache that you feel today

Can never last, it goes away

 

 

And in its place you soon will find

A pathway to your peace of mind

For even within sorrows sight

You can discern a peaceful light

 

It calls to you from up above

And floats aloft just like a dove

It is the lasting peace of mind

That every broken heart can find

 

And in the end when life we leave

Our hearts displayed upon our sleeve

We’ll find that place where we belong

Where love will never do us wrong.
