Question

Question of the heart ...
................................................

Sixteen and needing answers ....

This feeling overwhelms me
an answer I really need to know
is there a cure for a broken heart
or is it chronic cause of woe

Is there a special pill to take
that will lessen this aching pain
or will this heart forever drown
in this endless stream of rain

Is there a magic button to press
for memories I wish to delete
or an injection for happiness
to once again feel complete

Thirty-six and finding the answer ....

Finding an answer to the question
took me many, many years
but I think I've finally found it
after spilling plenty of tears

To properly arrange my thoughts
knowing I would need plenty of time
accepting the reality that he's gone
was the first hill I'd need to climb

Seeking answers, to the why and how
near drove me straight to my death
begging and pleading for resolution
realizing he wasn't worth another breath

Acceptance freed the denial
that lingered painfully in my mind
and released the happiness
that pain and anger held confined

Closure came through time and tears
realizing we were never meant to be
I loved and lost, yet will love again
And perhaps this loss was meant to be

So Simply ...
You may feel numb and broken, but
there is no simple cure for a broken heart
acceptance to closure needed
before a new love can start ...
