A Broken Heart

Turn your thoughts off your loss

and think of your gain.

To have loved the other was not pain.

Whether it be brief or long, is no matter,

For the love in your heart is strong

and will surely continue on.

Continue on and continue it must,

For a body without a heart is just dust.

Oh, but it is fearful,

to be broken again.

Indeed it will be.

But, to love another with half a heart,

Will surely deprive and starve.

I say, be courageous and strong.

Do not hunger.

Awake again with your gain.
