Image: We Heart It
Bruised Not Broken
It can’t be seen
But…
there all the same
Painful…
Tender…
Soon to be purple…
But…
Not yet seen
Deep…
Aching…
Working its way
to the surface
Bruised but not
Broken this time…
Her heart is
sore…
tender…
fragile…
And~
Smarter
Bruises heal…
Yet~
Always leave a reminder
they were there

Josh Ritter wrote that a heart can’t be broken because it has no bone, but you’ve shown us how deeply injured a heart, perhaps mostly the feminine heart, can be. And how, even if it doesn’t show, the scars remain. Great stuff, Annie. Strong. 🙂

Joe … thanks for your wonderful comment! I love Josh’s music … is that a line from a song … and if so … which one? This was a great prompt today!

I have always felt this way. Healing does happen but the heart is never the same.
