ANOTHER BLEEDING HEART

Author: Unknown

October 12, 1982

A painful truth befalls me
Nagging ache, flesh and bone
A torrent of emotions...
to find oneself alone

A question of devotion...
of promises revered
Yet another bleeding heart
Need face what once was feared

Step aside that love may pass
Surrender or accept
A space forever empty..
one's pain forever kept

If only there were comfort
A shortcut through the grief
If hearts were more resilient...
if love fulfilled belief

Yet another bleeding heart
Cannot forgive the crime
Understanding must embrace
The healing hands of time...

About this poem:

I am spending my afternoon sorting through old poems. I was so inspired here on this site to "get 'er done!~" I came across this one and I trust the Universe to guide me when it says, yes, post that one. I never know why, but I obey!~ LOL

When God, Creator, etc.. tells us to do something, it's always wise to listen. :)

Hi CelticPoet

I like both the cadence and the philosophy, especially the two last lines.

A fine write...

Hi, CelticPoet12,
Thanks for sharing ANOTHER BLEEDING HEART. If hearts were more resilient... if love fulfilled belief... Hopefully, The healing hands of time... will tell it so.
