Breakups

The sun brings

Everything the night steals

And love brings

A sting only time heals

But make no mistake

Love never goes away

Though it plagues us with pain

As it begins to change shape

Along the spectrum we’ll ride

From great love to great hate

We may even forget

We are one in the same

As we wade in the guilt

Rejection and shame

And wonder if hunger

For true love remains

Can we set each other free 

Without need to place blame?

A noble feat, indeed

A tall order these days

Can we carry on loving

As we start to make space

And move onward and upward

Not seeking to replace?

It’s the most epic tale

The heart will ever face

It leaves the sweetest burn

The senses could taste

But in the changing of love

Is the touch of God’s grace

For if moved by a force

Know it wasn’t your place

Hold the Truth in your heart,

As you pass through each stage,

That the Love will always be there,

No matter the shape.
