I wonder if
you knew
When my
heart broke
Tearing jagged
edges
Laying in
tatters before the world
I wonder if
you knew
The tears
that flowed like rivers huge and wild
The water
tumbling and turning
Stirring up
the mud
Darkness
enshrouded me dragging me down
I wonder if
you knew
My mind
never left you
Wherever it
took me
The thought
of you beside me
I wonder if
you knew
The body
fails daily
The lies and
tales told about me
Like daggers
to my side
Churning and
burning as they cut me
I wonder if
you knew
I wonder if
you knew
That God
smiled on me one day
He brought a
soul so dear and kind
To heal my
battered soul
I wonder if
you knew
Years may be
short and few
A precious
soul reached out amidst the tatters of my being
And loved me
through my pain
I wonder if
you knew
That once
more the sun could shine
It dried my
tears and warmed me
But he
gathered the shards of my heart
Holding it
gently as he loved me and made me whole
I wonder if
you knew
Once again that
I can smile again
The joy that
flows to me
Filtering through
the pain
I wonder if
you knew
That I will
always hold you dear
Your memory nestled
within my mind
No longer
will I give you power
To break my
heart again
I wonder if
you knew
