👣💗 Inspired by Paulo Coelho: “It is easy to be a hater. Go for the difficult task: be a lover.”
There’s a trick
she’s still learning
the hard way
But years ago, she wrote
a simple prayer in a poem
” Let my heart be broken
torn into pieces
bring me to my knees
Let my heart be open”
And now she sees
quite clearly
that she wouldn’t do it
any other way
she’ll still choose to love
when it’ll be easier to turn away
she’ll still treat others
as if she’ll be treated the same
she’ll still hold open
the doors and the invitation
although it’s been closed on her
many times before
She’ll still choose
to let her heart be broken
than to regret the chance
She’ll still go forward
though others hold back
It’s a trick
she’s learning
the hard way
But she can’t be any different
since she had asked.after all.
to let her heart be broken
torn into pieces
and filled up
patched well
etched and engraved
with love.
