“How to mend a Broken Heart”
The first step is to start.
Taste the pain, a flaky tart,
to inspire the muse of art.
Happiness will feel like a blink,
yet, the cracks will break the link
to the tears that smudge the ink
you chisel into the heavy stones
of time. Stop. Listen to the tones
your heartbeat creates for loved ones.
Tension between the beats will strain
the rails this pain uses to take us by train.
At the next stop, taste the rain.
