I pen these lines

Pouring my soul

Figuring out what I am

Without you

Heartbroken and destroyed

I just wonder




Will you ever read my lines?
Writing for an ex who may never read my feelings for her

The Ruler of Broken Hearts stares from his throne
Looking at that walls that bear his
Heartbreak, pain, loneliness

The castle is empty
The Ruler locked himself away
Not letting anyone in to hurt him
Again

The only thing in the castle is his advisor, fear
Fear looks over his shoulder whispering into his ear

He locks himself away because of this
Trusting fear that this was the best way to live

Though I'm the distance, another castle looms, The Queen of Healing the Broken-Hearted, who reached out to help when he was drowning

But she faces her own fear and over time locked herself away. No longer healing, no longer helping the world

The world remain unchanged when the Ruler hid, but when the Queen left darkness circled, hurricanes hitting every moment

The question becomes, how can the Queen be freed? And will it be to late to save the Ruler

Navigating life is hard
It's easy when someone is there helping to guide you
When that person is gone you become lost

Lost in the sea of life
Hurricanes crashing into your
Small boat, threatening capsizing it
Looking for the safe Sanctum

You search for the lighthouse
To guide you to safety, to take your
Heart into it's safety

As the darkness surrounding you
Starts to close in, you feel scared
Waiting for the pain of clashing on
The rocks

When the hope is swiftly gone
And the fear starts to overwhelm
Whispering to you to give up

A sleek light comes from the darkness
Not the same light as before
A brighter one, warmer than the last

This one comes not from one heart but those of many coming to save the sailor. Friends reaching out to bring him home

Though the light is far away and a hurricane to get through, the sailor realizes the fear stopped talking
And sitting next to him growing was

Hope

Healing is not an instant thing
It starts slowly, moving for each person differently
You start in the pain, everything reminding you of what happened
The sad songs that come on the radio, the posts you use to tag them in, the time of the day when you would text them
You think everything is lost, that you can't smile, be happy or think about the future
But then the healing starts
You start to smile when a friend makes you laugh, you get invited out and don't think about them for the time, you see a post and think about someone else
The pain and sadness is not gone but the healing starts to lessen it. It will still take a long time to be whole again but the healing process has started
and the healing and hope begin to make you  whole

When you are at your list point you
Think everything is lost
You're alone, upset, fearful, scared
You are afraid to reach out, thinking
No one will answer or no one will care
But it's at your lowest that you realize you aren't

As you think you are crashing into rock bottom of despair you hit something solid.
Thinking this is it you look out and see darkness underneath you. You landed on a ledge

As you look up you see people looking down at you and ropes start being lowered to you. Friends you haven't talked to in years, friends who you just met and those spread across the globe start pulling you up

It's at your lowest when you realize you aren't at rock bottom. People will be there for you helping you back up
Friends no matter if you talked yesterday or three years ago they answer your call. Friends in different time zones answer when they can doing whatever they can from so far

It's at this time you realize how blessed you are, because at your lowest you see the only way is up from here
I've gone through a rough breakup The last couple weeks. I've been writing again to help me through it and can't thank the support group I have surrounding me. Especially my loves across the world; Bea, Lisa, Becky and of course Emmy. Thank you too your four for everything ❤️

The hardest part of a breakup is not the breakup.
It's the aftermath of it
The hurting you feel won't ever go away, the broken heart you think will never heal or the loneliness of losing your best friend
The hardest part is feeling small and insignificant to everyone around you
But despite this all, as you want to shrink from the world you believe to hate you
A small thing comes up to and sits in your lap as tears are coming out of your eyes for a week straight
It looks at you until you stop crying
You start to feel a peace coming to you
Because out of the hurt, loneliness and pain, hope remains
Hope remains and that means the healing can begin

He walked over to the case and
Pulled out the crown sitting there
Dust covered it, it hasn't been touched in a long time
He looked it over, the black heart
Broken down the middle
A reminder of the hurt and pain
As he donned the crown of broken hearts once again
He realized the pain he was in
He set about locking what was left his heart away
Never again would it happen, lying to himself
Feeling lost, brojen and helpless he started walking aimlessly
Broken hearts happened before
But this time he could feel his soul tearing apart
He stares into the darkness awaiting him
Knowing each step could send him crashing to rock bottom
He knows the pain won't go away because it's standing there welcoming him like an old friend
He was the king of broken heart but what will happen when the soul breaks?
What would be left?
