The Hardest Part
[Day 9 of the 31 Days of Poetry]
Given the way, the days go by
he asks her why
her heart's so cold
Taking his hand,
she understands,
why so few lovers ever grow old
Down the trail
they walk in veiled
conversation, hiding pain
Never before
had so much more
than coursing love between them lain
Promises made
and hearts displayed
in quiet whispered lovers' songs
Held up to the burning Fire
the words speak liar
the notes sound wrong
Holding on,
the vanishing dawn,
the fading light of lovers' glow
The hardest part
of broken hearts
is learning how to
just
let
go
