How Do We Mend A Broken Heart

How do we mend our broken hearts,
When our loved one has been untrue,
Surrounded with lies and deception,
After hearing the words I love only you.

Self esteem is now at an all time low,
Confidence has taken wings and flew,
Your trust in love has been shattered,
Now alone in a world with just you.

Falling tears that you cried leave you empty,
Your faith once so strong is now weak,
The love that you fought and sacrificed for,
Leaves you devastated and unable to speak.

The words keep haunting you day after day,
All the stories you once thought were true,
Asking yourself the same question once more,
Now what on earth shall I do.

Cracks and holes have pierced through your heart,
From someone who had claimed to love you,
Seem so slow in becoming whole once again,
But heal faster from what you can do!

Do not sit alone contemplating your past,
Self pity has hooks made of steel,
Hold your head way up high when your walking,
Be thankful no more hurt will you feel.

And please do not ever give up on love,
Take the lessons you've learned and be wise,
Make certain when someone says they love you,
It will not bring about your demise!

There are men and women who are genuine and true,
Who've been victims of lies and deceit,
So never give up on your dreams for happiness,
A true love is waiting just for you to meet!
