A broken heart is broken forever
I don’t believe it when they say
Time heals all wounds
I do believe that
Life has ended for me now
Please don’t tell me
Everything will be alright
I already know that
I am doomed
Do you actually believe that
I have a chance at happiness
There is no point
I don’t need your pity
I’m nothing but garbage
Everybody is thinking it
I see the way that they look at me
Can I keep on standing
When my heart is shattered like glass
Do I have the strength to go on
When all I had is lost

Memory's Garden.
In the garden of our minds, Where memories bloom and wind, There lies a flower, deep and true, A memory, both joy and rue. Sometimes it sings with joy's sweet tune, A cherished moment 'neath the moon. But sometimes, oh, it brings such pain, Like clouds that hide the sunny reign.

I like how this did read differently from the reverse direction, and the contrast between pessimism and optimism is sharp! “Can I keep on standing When my heart is shattered like glass” is a line I really liked. Hopefully everyone can get to that positive mindset when heartbreak happens, as hard as it is. Nice👏
Well done, David! Enjoyed this one.
Love it. Sad poem but special for me...
