Breaking a heart can be done in two ways.
A swift, betraying blow can break it fast.
A sudden stop to precious things like love,
trust, hope and it is a broken heart.

Breaking a heart can be less dramatic.
A slow, careless cutting can break it slow.
An accumulation of loss, becoming invisible
no trust or hope, and it is a broken heart.

Breaking a heart. A task for the careless, the
thoughtless, the cruel or just unaware.

Healing a heart. That takes courage, care,
love and patience. It takes strength and love.

Any fool can break something,
the truly beautiful person can
help something heal and love again.

Any fool can lose slight of a good thing.
Any fool can break a heart, fast or slow.

Be gentle with a healing heart, be kind to
one that knows how to be broken and
still tries to keep loving and trusting.

Be kind with a scarred heart, be sweet to
one that knows too much of bitterness
and still shows up to the beauty of life.
