A broken heart is hard enough,
To discover you are unloved after all,
That all those words of love were false,
At best a mistake of the emotions,
At worst a manipulative lie.
A broken heart is hard enough,
But there is healing in seeing things clearly,
In forgiveness,
In forgetting.
A broken heart is hard enough,
The price love can demand,
But the absence is harder still
And does not end.
