Love Salve
“You don’t know how a heart works”
they say
“It’s resilient”
“It can heal”
once
twice
three, four, five, six times
broken
maybe beyond repair
a muscle gets strained
too much wear and tear
worn thin
like the excuses made by those we dare to love
ironic
isn’t it
the only thing to fix a broken heart
is more love
And chocolate or wine… that always helps. But time ….. time really does help a broken heart.
I’m not sure time actually repairs anything though. There are some breaks which can’t be patched.
