Lesson Learned
_____________________________________
Did you know you can feel your heart break?
I learned that two short years ago today.
It is more than a twinge or a cramp or an ache
I was fearful it would not go away.
Turns out some time will mend a heartbreak
Though I feel the scars remain to this day.
It’s a good lesson to know what’s at stake
If you find you have someone’s heart someday.
There’s lessons in trauma, make no mistake
The worth of this is crucial to convey.
