The Strength of a Broken Heart

 

I can look at a bleeding heart, and turn my face away
To the face of a crying child, there’s nothing that I want to say

I’m blind to the emotions that used to disturb me before
Physical discomfort no longer feels half as sore

Not even does the fear of death scare me
But conquering all this pain hasn’t come for free

My feelings have turned numb since we parted ways
Since then my palette has only known dull grays

The death of togetherness I have always to mourn
But a broken heart is the best pain killer I have known


Separating from you was my worst nightmare

Now that it has come true, everything else hurts less.

But a broken heart is the best pain killer I have known - Wow! This is so beautifully sad!
A broken heart not only symbolizes pain and sorrow, it also symbolizes strength to carry on with this life, to carry on with a heart even without its beat!

I often wonder why does it hurt so much when we lost our love, may be because we loved them so much that we forgot to keep a little love for ourselves T-T
