Take heed a tortured heart to heal <br />Scarred and bruised like orange peel <br />Worn, now empty cast aside <br />Like so much flotsam on the tide <br /> <br />It beats a lonely tune for one <br />Devoid of feeling, cold and numb <br />Its melody, now a requiem <br />That rides the wind of distant fen <br /> <br />Empty cold its essence gone <br />No spark or magic to keep it strong <br />Battered by the tears of time <br />No longer hers and barely mine <br /> <br />Deprived of hope, its plea's unheard <br />Its grief unshared, a wounded bird <br />Turned inside out, and torn apart <br />An epitaph to a broken heart.<br /><br />Graham Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-epitaph-to-a-broken-heart/
