Broken Bleeding Heart
"What becomes of the broken-hearted, who had love that's now departed."
(Song Title, Jimmy Ruffin, 1988)
Hearts meant to be whole
When broken, tear asunder the soul
When our love was on the upswing
Our hearts flowed from one wellspring
Of tenderness and devotion, empathy, care
We sailed through the skies, daring to dare
And just when we thought we'd reached
The pinnacle of Heaven, with a screech
Such a shriek, our hearts tumbled down
Cruelly failing us, 'till they burst on the ground
The blood seeped into crevices and cracks
Nevermore to be felt, there was no turning back
For the tears that attended this heart-wrenching sight
Blotted out the sunshine, turning day into night
Hearts meant to be whole
When broken, tear asunder the soul
