How long does it hurt?

years go by
and still it does

a glimpse, a vision
reminds you of what was not to be

yet as much as you know
that it could not be

your heart still wants, desires
what it cannot have

the tears glisten in the eyes
the sobs catch in your throat

but reality remains
the hurt stays with you

it takes courage to not let it consume you

It hurts, a long time Jen, the heart has no Armoury, to defend itself, but we survive, somehow, beautifully expressed.broken heart
