Heart Break

by Stephen Levant   Jun 3, 2006


I wasn't expecting the phone call that would end it all. This one had been there through all the trials and tribulations. fourteen years of trail and triumph had seen me steadily by your side. When your heart cried out for help, in it's loneliness and frustration, I was there to hold and lift you up. Later, you having less need of me, I was pushed away when things grew better. I continually saw myself drinking with you of the bitter cup.

Like recently tempered glass, still fragile and subjected to pressure, I felt my heart breaking. I'd been dismissed, doted on and dismissed many times before. Such an undertaking! It didn't make the pain any less. This time seemed different though;my soul tasted finality in the words you spoke.

Yesterday becomes today with countless tears to wipe away. Tomorrow will away. Eyes must see that there is still hope for me.

How often is the heart which has stood by abandoned? Quite often. What is the purpose of standing by one's side in the midst of adversity? Ti's the true and proper thing to do and the sign of genuine love. I am anything, save, diversity. Thank my stars that with perspective I can reflect on the simple beauty of a thing like a flower or dove. I will not starve but yet find sustenance and nourishment. You are lost to me now. I see naught but a memory growing ever faint. I will continue on a bit more than hant. All in all...this is mere heartbreak.
