What a Broken Heart Feels Like is a poem I wrote in 10 minutes this Sunday morning. I hope it affirms your hurt and encourages you if you have a broken heart.
What a Broken Heart Feels Like
I look for the pen
to heal me again
since pouring out words
and pictures
seems to help.
In the book I open
the joy expert asks:
“What does your heart
look like now?”
A waterfall bursts inside
and finds its exit
in rivulets down my face
as I picture the seat of my emotions
desires
and longings:
battered
bruised
broken
purple, blue, and black
delicately strewn with orchid petals
and held in hands
I don’t trust.
It’s not even beating.
How can it possibly hope,
much less seek joy?
No wonder
after a lifetime of suffering
then three long years
of daily torture.
Yet it is held
by the only one
with the breath
of life
the only one
who can breathe life
back into it.
So my tears
form a little ocean
around the heart
cocooning it
in intensive care
as I wait for the healer
to make it whole again.
