How Can You Mend A Broken Heart? by CarlaMia

Be Still My Heart.

Be still my heart.
Be not disturbed, as violently
Your beats reverb passion unforeseen.

He who pledged a lifelong love
Has undervalued words, ill-said,
And now has fled, without a backward
Glance at all that might have been.

Be still. my heart.

Still you stir in angry disarray.
This lover who you thought you knew,
Who called to say his bags he'd packed
Has coldly flown away.

His love turned out untrue.

Be still my heart.
He never did nor never will
Deserve us, - - me or you.

This is a wonderfully expressive poem, Fay, written exceptionally well in every line. Your concluding lines say it so well in this brilliant poem! Carl.

So important to still the heart and not blame oneself for another's angry decision. The poem speaks volumes about relationships and crafted with your prudent pen. The leaf in the picture so symbolic where a piece is lost in a heart and as you say 'coldly flown away'. You are one amazing creative person Fay. love Karin

This is a real 'to be or not to be' sort of soliloquy, as the two halves of the self battle to cope with rejection and abandonment. The title is brilliant and the final triplet stands tall. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

True Love was made to be Inexorable, not inimical. Hearts bneed to be thick with passion...Void of that burns but will heal .However,to accept a Love that wavers, is to place your Heart in a pyre, that will surely scathe in a manner that will incur indelible scars. Young lass...this i like much...You are a poetic machine these day's,and this site is better for it ! F Jr-2010
