Broken Heart of Love
This searing pain in my heart
I wish it would go away
I pray for it to leave me
But it is love
I would be hollow without it
I watch you drowning
in a sea of turmoil and fear
I reach out my hand,
the one connected to my broken heart
“It’s okay, the sailing’s fine,” you say
I walk away, thinking perhaps
My eyes deceive me and you are not
drowning, or else why
would you say otherwise?
I know you would not lie
But still this pain
deep down inside my aching heart
reminds me
that you are not fine,
the sea is not calm
The storm rages
but I cannot rescue you
You cannot see my hand
reaching through the darkness
beckoning you to dry land
