who will nurse
a wounded heart
broken by someone dear?
it grumbles,
betrayed by those
who were close to it.
losing all reputation,
all relation
personal and social
it dries up.
feels nothing
for those who broke it.
nothing.
no anger, no resentment.
it falls silent
with the heavy knowledge
of a newly learned
lesson.
another of a kind
that life teaches us
while killing us softly.
