Bereft


My Heart is broken

Seeming so perfect when it was born

But the beauty hid the truth

The brightness camouflaged the defect

For twenty years my heart lived wrapped

Deep within the safety of my love

And time told the story

My Heart beats to a drummer with no rhythm

No Reason

No reality

I held my heart close to keep it safe

But the ragged edges cut through my flesh

like shattered glass

A reflection in pieces so fragmented

they can never be repaired

The truth

My Heart is broken

And broken is my heart

      I don't know. It was easy to write it off as flaky when she was growing up but now that she's grown her behavior is worrisome.

      Thanks DG : ) Devastation is the word at the moment. I feel like someone died. But I know from experience pain doesn't last forever. Right now though, I feel like nothing will ever be alright again.
