BROKEN HEARTS CAN BE MENDED

YOU SEE THEM EVERY DAY,
ON THE BUS, OR ON THE TRAIN,
THEY PASS YOUR WAY,
SOME WITH A SMILE,
OR A STAUNCHED  FACE.

MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL AGES,
GOING ABOUT THEIR DAY,
PRETENDING TO BE HAPPY,
WHILE THE REAL DEAL 
IS CONCEALED,
BENEATH WHAT THEY REVEAL.

LONELINESS, SADNESS, AND GLOOM,
HEARTS ONCE LOVED,
VACATED, 
AND LEFT LIKE AN EMPTY ROOM.

MEN AND WOMEN, WITH BROKEN HEARTS,
MASQUERADING, AS THOUGH ALL IS WELL,
WHEN THEY ARE EMOTIONALLY TORMENTED,
AND EXPERIENCING TOTAL HELL.

HOW DO YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART,
ONE THAT HAS BEEN TORN APART.

YOU TAKE A CHANCE, A LEAP OF FAITH,
YOU HOPE AND PRAY,
FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE TO COME ALONG,
YOUR GOD GIVEN SOULMATE.

BROKEN HEARTS CAN BE MENDED.
