" Believe"

“Its hard”,

Thats what they say.

“And you have to be strong

And you have to believe”,

Thats their warning.

But no one ever tells you,

Everyone forgets to mention

The bruise and the burnt of a broken heart

When the soul is weak

And you've lost all faith.

We're thrown into the universe of love

Our bodies thrusting themselves nakedly

Among the stars

And everything is magical.

But no one ever tells you what happens

When the magic dies

and stars fade

No one gives you any cures or prescriptions

The “what to do's” for a broken soul

But I can tell you.

I can describe the feelings of the

words slicing every part of your body

as he says “ I am sorry”

And the tears that collide with the shortness of breath

And the shivers that run through your spine

As you brace yourself for the inevitable ending

“ can you forgive me?” he whispers.

And you feel every bone in your body dissolve

Like an aspirin in water

You are drowning in your own hate

In your own tears

But if you are brave,

Then the pain won't kill you.

And if you have faith in yourself

Then you will breathe again.
