My Broken Heart - Poem

Since it's release three years ago, Ishay Ribo's song "Halev Sheli" has become a powerhouse in its own right, captivating audiences and individuals the world over, with many popular artists soon releasing their version of this song and only highlighting once again, how music is a universal language spoken by everyone.

Anyone who speaks the language of music, speak from their soul...

Recently, I was listening to my personal favorite cover version of the song and was inspired suddenly to create a poem based around this song. After a little bit of thinking, here is what I came up with.

I am honored to finally share it.

My Broken Heart - Poem
My heart is beating, but yet it's broken,
Cracked, shattered, torn,
Every beat causes it to ache
A searing pain, spilling hot tears,
But the pain won't be washed away

My heart is beating, but yet it's weak
Strength, it does not have,
It's cries, only I can hear,
At night, the air is pierced,
By a shout from the depth of my soul

And only you know,
How difficult it is for me
The world, at sunrise sees a dawn
But only I see a darkness
I try to feel my way around
Trying to find you
But I stumble and fall
And my heart is in a million pieces.

Trying to piece my heart together
All these edges, corners, and crevices,
But the scars to strong to heal
And the pieces are to much
The bleeding begins afresh, once again

And only you know,
How difficult it is for me
The world, at sunrise sees a dawn
But only I see a darkness
I try to feel my way around
Trying to find you
But I stumble and fall
And my heart is in a million pieces.

How I wish to find a cure
To stop the pain once and for all
The darkness is coming
And I cannot run.

And only you know,
How difficult it is for me
The world, at sunrise sees a dawn
But only I see a darkness
I try to feel my way around
Trying to find you
But I stumble and fall
And my heart is in a million pieces.
