Fragments of Our Hearts

Phillip Stephens 2003 (Sofia)

Free verse
Fragments of our hearts, scattered across the land,
Aching with the weight of all we cannot understand.
Memories of love and loss, like shards of broken glass,
Piercing through our souls, leaving wounds that never pass.

We search for solace in the depths of our despair,
Hoping to find a way to heal the pain we cannot bear.
But time moves on, and still we carry on alone,
Trying to find a way to make our shattered hearts a home.

Through the tears and the fears, we find the strength to rise,
Embracing all the broken pieces that make up our lives.
For in the fragments of our hearts, we find the beauty of the past,
And though the pain may linger, our love will always last.
