What becomes of a broken heart?

by Danielle Mc Henry - Aquarius

Die an agonizing death….
Does it cease to beat?…
And just waste away?….
Does it beg for its own end?…..

When a heart is broken,
Does it go far into its own depths?
Beckoning its own demons….
Does it curse life for letting it  live?….

When a heart is broken,
Does it rupture, splinter in a thousand pieces?
Imperceptible and Unrecognizable, 
Does it break such that, it is irreparable?

When a heart is broken,
Does it not look for tomorrow?
So much is its remorse and lament,
It wishes not to forge on?

When a heart is broken,
Does it lose its sight, Does it lose its feel?
Unable to see beyond the dark clouds,
Blinded by pain, Numbed by heartache?

What becomes of a broken heart?
Does it ever get better, Does it ever mend?
Discern the light, Know such happiness…
Will it ever be whole again?

What becomes of a broken heart?
How, tell me how… does it go on?

		

Reason for writing:
