The broken heart must find a way to mend.
To mend or die is what hearts do.
But there is pain as the healing rends,
Between I love you and I loved you.
The memories that crack through shuttered windows
Lights up shattered glass like sun on dew.
Too tired to care whose fault this is though,
Between I love you and I loved you.
The defense in dreams of reunion,
Is broken as the stone comes through.
And the sheer facts start to set in
Between I love you and I loved you.
There is a pain that seems endless,
In a future, no longer true.
I hope it drowns in forgiveness
Between I love you and I loved you.
Maybe this isn’t an end.
Maybe it’s just practice or pretend.
Might be right now none of it connects,
and there’s nothing that can delflect,
the pain that’s love side effect.
There is no remedy
for love’s memory,
but pain is not all you are reaping,
for joy is not gone,
only sleeping.
