When A Heart Is Broken Poem by Jim Yerman

When a heart is broken…
at first it seems unbearable,
the world looks bleak
and grim
but sometimes it must break completely
to empty all of her…
or all of him.

For once a heart has been depleted…
and we think there's nothing more…
that's when we can piece it back together
even stronger than before..

Knowing what gives our heart it's courage
it's tenacity
its glue
are not only those who build it up
but those who break it too.
