Heartbreak

Acid tears
Etch timid cheeks
Burns the wounded
Heart

Wrenching stomach
Tearing cavity walls
Heart of desire
Now despair

Empty and cold
Holds no truth
To the pain of
A dying heart

"Better to have loved and lost,
than to have never loved at all."

To love as this heart has
Is not best
As this loss
Bequeaths

A solitude of pain
Released only by
The true one
