Tears welling up around the eyes that trickles down effortlessly

A silent sob, wrecking one’s heart, A forlorn face,

sad trodden eyes, A far-away look, seeing nothing,

Quivering lips that’s partially shut

How can you mend a broken heart?

To understand and accept that what’s not meant to be,

really..not meant to be

That time spent together will be just that…A memory

To cherish, to hold close to your heart, not to let go

To dwell on what ifs, what nots and what WHATS(!)

How can you mend a broken heart?

One must let go, Some says you’re not good together

Nothing lasts a lifetime, nor forever

Everything, everyone is dispensable

and goodbye should be it

How can you mend a broken heart?

Experts say: “This is detrimental to your health”

Better move on and look for worthwhile others

to occupy one’s mind and time

Diversify. There’s lot of fish in the ocean, and so on and so forth

How can you mend a broken heart of a child of 5?

Who looks forward to Fridays and weekends

to be able to be with his TABLET,

that’s taboo during week days and school days?

How can you mend a broken heart?

Help! A grandmom who loves this 5-year old dearly

And a silent participant, who tried to alleviate

the broken heart of NATHAN

With lots of hugs, lots of kisses and tight embraces to boot,

soothing words…?

At a loss, regretfully, nothing works

ahh…life…
