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