a heart can only break so much--
the bleeding must cease one day
and once all becomes still
in the dawn of the storm,
the chains that hold the world
in its place
will break away
--and you will be left
with the life altering decision
to repair the impossible,
or let it decay
there is always a glimmer
of hopeful sunshine
breaking through the rain,
but sometimes it's just best
to let the water wash away
the pain
because
a heart can only break so much--
fatality determined in a numbered day,
and once the storm has left you
there isn't much left to fade

a heart can only break so much--
the bleeding must cease one day
and once all becomes still
in the dawn of the storm,
the chains that hold the world
in its place
will break away
--and you will be left
with the life altering decision
to repair the impossible,
or let it decay
there is always a glimmer
of hopeful sunshine
breaking through the rain,
but sometimes it's just best
to let the water wash away
the pain
because
a heart can only break so much--
fatality determined in a numbered day,
and once the storm has left you
there isn't much left to fade
