One day

One day

Maybe two heart broken lovers

Will meet

And in each other’s eyes

Recognise themself

They will reach out

Across that vast divide between them

With tenderness

And say

I knew it too

That silent heartbreak

 A pain

So extreme

It felt like shattered bones

Or frozen ice

Poured over them

Maybe by this time

The wounds left

On both souls

Will have caused such an awareness

To grow within them

That the break

In each other’s hearts

Will open a doorway

And stepping through

With all their fears

They will find a way

To reconnection

And re-ignite the impulse

To once again

Take a chance

On love
