Brokehearted

A simple goodbye might have sufficed

Bitter tears from her cheeks flowed down

Can a broken heart ever hope to mend?

Dreamt though the heart of a clown

Everyone knows their breaking point

From the depths of deep despair

"Goodbye forever" was all that was said

Hearts broken... without a care

Inside that broken heart

Just when all hope is gone

Keeping time like an ancient clock

Love lives but not for long

Never is a very long time

Only those with broken-hearts know

Who place their hopes in unfulfilled dreams

Quietly pacing too and fro

Reality quickly shatters those dreams

Shut out by hearts that are scarred

This pattern is too often repeated

Undone by broken hearts now marred

Verily I say to you

Whatever a heart might tell

When love has gone forever

Only then does a heart know hell
