I’m feeling the pain of heartbreak
But it is not my heart that is broken.
Although a second hand agony,
An old wound is awoken.
To witness this turmoil,
So hard to bear,
An offer of solace & comfort
Is all I can share.
My Baby, my darling, my poor little child,
The torture & agony of emotions running wild.
I recall my own first love and the tears as it ended.
Having handed over my heart, in the surety,
It would be lovingly tended.
The precious gift of all that I am,
Given willingly to the care of that man.
To be rejected, abandoned, how could this be?
How can I ease her pain, which is so plain to see?
I would rather my own heart be broken,
Time after time.
Than witness helplessly, take her pain,
Make it mine.
Time will heal; I know this to be true.
She will shine brilliantly,
With a love that is new.
But in the now, this is no help at all.
To utter those words,
Sounds like a tale so tall.
I might as well be saying,
“Let them eat cake”.
When I tell her there will be and end to this ache.
Her pain is her own,
Not mine to repair.
All I can do,
Is let her know that I care.

A Child's Heartbreak

I’m feeling the pain of heartbreak
But it is not my heart that is broken.
Although a second hand agony,
An old wound is awoken.
To witness this turmoil,
So hard to bear,
An offer of solace & comfort
Is all I can share.
My Baby, my darling, my poor little child,
The torture & agony of emotions running wild.
I recall my own first love and the tears as it ended.
Having handed over my heart, in the surety,
It would be lovingly tended.
The precious gift of all that I am,
Given willingly to the care of that man.
To be rejected, abandoned, how could this be?
How can I ease her pain, which is so plain to see?
I would rather my own heart be broken,
Time after time.
Than witness helplessly, take her pain,
Make it mine.
Time will heal; I know this to be true.
She will shine brilliantly,
With a love that is new.
But in the now, this is no help at all.
To utter those words,
Sounds like a tale so tall.

Her pain is her own,
Not mine to repair.
All I can do,
Is let her know that I care.
