and my heart broke
her broken heart broke mine
"this hurts me more than it hurts you"
"you are wrong," but I could not say it
Soon I could not look into her eyes
or into anyone's
I looked down
and hung my head in sadness
Now my mother and I
walked the earth with our broken hearts
As she lay dying, I did not tell her
how long ago she broke my heart
she spoke of regrets
her heart broken to the end
All I could do was listen
when I watched her take her last breath
how sad that her heart never healed
walking slowly away, I began a journey
to heal my heart for the both of us
