JENSE C. GLORY

Heartbroken

A heart frightened

Becomes words frightened

Calmed to taking such pain

Dare again I say her name

Ever I would try but

Forever her name’s been closed shut

Grazing though in the back of my head

Her name I thought I heard said

I opened a star to the love of my betrothed

Just to leave fallen at Coconut Grove

Keeping me crashing round and round

Love has kept me falling down

Making me question my own heart

Never again could it take part

On a voyage of love and passion

Pieces of me cry asking

Questions of why love has left me

Rashes and scars upon my heart

Sadness of love I thought I caught

Under disguise as her love

Various touches it used to pretend

Wicked notions of love did offend

Xenon temptress of my soul

Years of loving her left me bitter and cold

Zero becomes my letters falling down to see

Innocent then… when I could love you my best!

Given to you was a love so pure,

Beginning a gift never showed before.

And to you, I gave my all,

If needed, for you I’d crawl.

And still to this point, I give you my world,

Innocently without difficulty my heart unfurls.

Maitre

I know you’re sad that you broke my heart, like I said you would

I know that you know that you’ve brought me to tears, I’m outside my good

I’m without a volunteering nature these weeks, as I wag my finger

Heartache buries my soul, I’m no good forgetter I’m no good forgiver

You censor yourself and make scarce in lost efforts, you’re sparing me

Or maybe you’re embarrassed as
