a broken heart

a broken heart

a broken heart held together by the threads of love
tearing during the lost time healing during the hope
in the moments of forever or the dying of the dove
the dreams lie as we entwine single strands of rope
a broken heart bubbles burst all dying with a wink
fabric unravels in threads unmatched buttons hung
not a sip to relieve thirst as dry eyes forget to blink
thunder clouds over heads mutter sad songs unsung
a broken heart yet enslaved immovable and bound
caught in silken spider webs the beast approaching
still seeking what was craved dreading every sound
a tide rolls in a tide ebbs the sea foam encroaching
a broken heart cannot bend it can only lie in pieces
a broken heart cannot mend as all of love it releases
