Heart Break

My heart bleeds with grief

As I stare at the hazy horizon

My hand reaches for a kerchief

Involuntarily, the act is done.

I wipe the tears streaming down

unhindered and relentless,

Even as in sorrow I drown,

my searing pain unbearable and endless.

I know I have to pick up the thread

of life again, though my heart is broken

and relegate the wonderful times we had

to sweet memories never to be woken

I gaze at the horizon,

The sky has now turned crimson

The spectacular glory of the sun

maybe heralding a new dawn.
