How would you know what a broken heart
Feels like
Until yours is broken?
How would you know how it feels to be let
Down
Until it hits you hard dropping you to the floor?
How would you know how it feels like to
Starve
Until food and water is out of reach?
How would you know how it feels to be loved
Until someone truly cares about you?
How would you know what it feels like
To have enemies
Until someone says harsh things to you?
How would you know what it feels to be
Mended whole
Until someone mends you together?
How would you know how to love someone
Until I appear before you eyes
Ready to make you whole once again?
