Loving a Broken Heart

Broken pieces 

Of a heart 

Refusing to become

Whole 

Pieces drifting in spaces

between ex-lovers 

who each carry them 

as memories 

Trying to make 

Their own hearts whole

Collecting pieces 

From beings 

Which promised 

Serenity 

And security for 

Their aching hearts

Have you ever tried loving 

A broken heart 

Tried fighting nightmares 

Of broken promises

Rising towards the surface 

Leaving their burial grounds

And poisoning all hope

Of truth being spoken

By beings in search

Of broken hearts  

Trying to make them whole

Have you ever tried battling

The insecurities

Waged war against issues

Entrenched by beings 

Too cowardly to see the pain 

They inflict 

Even after they've become 

Distant memories 

Lost in the moving wind
