Broken Hearts Unmended

We walk upon the sands of time
Along the shores of love we tread
Our toes, we dip into the water
But never one to dunk our heads
We fight the wars of love's dismay
As words of hope are cut and lost
Scattered pieces of our souls
Our hearts, the ones that bare the cost.
Into the future we can't wander
For memories broken, now are cast
They've left us lifeless, with weighted wings
And stilled us in our given paths.
To hold a heart with just fingertips
And let it blow with gentle ease
Would be the carelessness of faith
That drifts away with just a breeze.
So, though, we choose to walk among
The other souls that lay in wait
We let the water mist our toes
And pass along our loveless days.
