Soft and delicate as a flower – the heart
Whole and precious – the most beautiful work of art
But at times, the only balm for someone’s loss
Is to sacrifice and pay the ultimate cost
And offer a daggered, shattered, broken heart
Let it break—
As the night dreams of dawn’s light
You pine to push away their dark and fight
Overwhelmed with sadness as you feel helpless
You yearn to banish their pain but you’re defenseless
Let it break—
Don’t turn from the weight of sorrow, don’t look away
Let your soul hurt, let it burn and sway and sway
Let your body absorb their shards of pain
Shed tears like heaven is crying rain
Let it break—
You seek amends, but it must be for Their sake
And sometimes the only thing They can take
Is not words or offerings you make
But to Their pain – be awake
And let your heart – quake – and shake –
And Ache – and ache –
Let it break—
