BROKEN WINGS
Folder:
Love Lost REMEMBER
Why do these words mean nothing?
Where is the heart that once knew
These words so long before?
Will compassion breathe again
As it once did in our youth?
Or, is death the only way
Wounds will be allowed to heal?
REFLECT
Will selfishness be buried
Before the black dirt is thrown
Upon the pale mask of death
In that garden of gray stones
Cold as the heart that will lie
Beneath the earth for all time
Trod upon, unforgiven?
REMORSE
Broken wings will never heal
If your heart will not accept
That there is only one chance
To remember the sweet years.
You have opted to forget
The trust you shattered with ease
Was for your freedom alone.
RESOLVE
Denial is the weapon
You use with little concern,
All in the name of ego,
Wounding the heart of the girl
Who once felt safe in your arms,
And still has dreams that one day
Love will heal this broken wing.

very uplifting poetry well enjoyed thankyou shell trees..
I like this poem and the format you used for it. It helps guide the readers into embracing and understanding your poem. It also takes them through a lot of processes of acceptence to move on with their lives without making them feel ignorant or inferior. Great job.
I realy liked this poem. and in the first portion, it's something to think about, there are many wounds that will not heal.
Hi Amy,
I really enjoyed reading this one. I like how you broke this down into the sub-titled verses. Very well written poem. Insightful and TRUE.
