She said, "I loved him and now he left me"
And all I could do was sigh,
I had no words of comfort to give,
As I watched her sit and cry.
She said,"My heart feels oh so empty now,
I have no love to make it full,
I fell in love when I shouldn't have,
I broke my golden rule".
I said "Perhaps this was what you needed to do,
You needed to share your heart,
You just didn't expect to offer it,
To someone who would rip it apart".
She said,"I cry when Im reminded of him"
I say, "That's how its going to be,
You've got to go through this grieving,
Or else you will never be free".
She said, "I will never fall in love again
And I gently remind her she will,
Someone out there is waiting for her,
She has a space beside them to fill".
She said, "Why can I not stop this crying".
I said, "Its because your hearts been left in tatters,
And its hard to think of the good things,
When it seems what you've lost is all that matters".
She said, you sound like you speak from experience"
I said, "Yes Ive been there before,
I know how it feels to be broken
And feel like you can't go on anymore".
But I said, "Your life is just like a story book,
You must read it through to the end.
Some pages you turn will still make you cry,
But your broken heart will mend".
