To Mend a Broken Heart
To Mend a Broken Heart

To mend a broken heart what medicines do I use.
What salves does one apply for healing to infuse.
Is there needle and thread to stitch it's torn edges.
Or sorrow's tears to wash away the jagged ledges.
Never meaning to shatter the love coming from you.
By the careless words or thoughtless acts that I threw.
I pray it's not to late to heal the damage that I've done.
My heart is sorrowed from the selfishness I have spun.
I cry for your forgiveness of causing you such awful pain.
To retract those hurtful words I said without any refrain.
This spirit kneels lowly, it's core is truly, wholly forlorn.
I beg redemption for any agonies I selfishly have born.
Therefore, I ask humbly, you forgive this remorseful heart.
And together mend the pieces, bit by bit, every broken part.
Knowing what I ask of you is unfair and me you may reject.
Because of the broken heart you hold and savagely protect.
Someway, somehow, please grant me that grace within you.
To release the pain I've caused and try to begin again anew.
For I yearn for that special someone that's lying deep within.
To let our love's bloom blossom beautiful, forever once again.
