Shattered

Let these broken pieces of my heart fall apart

In the painful aftermath Of your negation

I am the lost child Always waiting at the station For the train of another’s presence to carry me home

But instead after boarding your train this child finds herself lost again in foreign places Unable to find her way home to what is real in her mind

Heartbreak is something I am learning to trust more now Than all of this misguided seeking outside And yet those wrong roads taken still show me things I could not fully understand without that journey or the risk

Maybe these broken pieces need to fall apart in order to reveal truths and painful feelings hidden inside I did not realise I was running from or seeking Revealing to me yet again the true only true wisdom of my heart ever comes from within

And none of these painful truths or feelings could ever have been glimpsed or these realisations attained without the breaking
