Shattered and broken my heart lies <br />Scattered and fallen there it cries <br />Hurt, grieved, saddened, and fro <br />On why this love hurt as so <br />For time it was well content <br />Joyful, cheerful, No lament <br />Know it lies, beaten n' lost <br />Ignored, hated, hit, and tossed <br />But look as time took its toll <br />The heart has made something whole <br />A poet a poet a poet is made <br />O love, o broken love <br />Look what formed of me <br />What you meant for hurt <br />Helped me willingly <br />So here art I giving you a rhyme <br />One scar from a battle of love <br />Doesn’t mean it’s the end of my time.<br /><br />Peter Salgado<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birth-of-a-poet-3/
