So then you went away,
A soft September day.
Our love disappeared-
you suddenly weren’t here.
Losing you was not
An experience to forget.
Earthquakes in my heart
Since we were torn apart.
My heart in fragments then.
A jigsaw to begin
Now I am fresh born.
A stained glass window formed.
From fragments stuck with glue.
A pattern came anew.
My heart is so sad now.
A strength within me grew.
The way I had to go……..
My life’s deep river flowed
Only now I know
Earthquakes in my heart
Will forever be a part
Of life which comes anew
Since I’m not bound to you.
New patterns can be made
From life’s colours and shades.
Not what I first chose.
I was one of those
Who planned my thoughts ahead;
But what I got instead,
Feelings newly born
When my own soul was harmed.
Cracks let in the rain,
And I broke up again.
Not what I had planned
When this life had begun.
I don’t know where you are
But though you’re gone, I care.
I don’t hold on to hate,
As a permanent life state.
I saw the ground split wide.
As I broke up deep inside.
What is in or out?
In pain we sadly doubt.
From that fragmented state,
My new self was made
Earthquake in my heart,
Love had made a start.
But patterns can be wrong.
So love did not stay long,
The pattern was destroyed.
Hate by love employed
Made patterns subtly new.
I was sad that I lost you, but
Earthquake in my heart,
Gave me another start.
Stained glass window panes
Look through in the rain.
Stained glass colours glow
My eyes gleam as I know.
Stained glass in the rain
I will love again.
Stained glass colours glow
Inner light will show.
Earthquake in my heart
I’ll make another start.
Drowning in the rain
Soaked right through with pain.
Colours will now blend
And my heart will mend.
Earthquake in my heart
When my true lover went
Earthquake in my soul
One day I’ll be whole.
Stained glass mirrors gleam
Life’s not what I dreamed.
Symbols in the rain.
Symbols of shared pain.
Mirrors of my heart
Shattered into parts.
Bleeding wounds will heal.
This is how life feels.
Earthquakes in my heart
When my love departs.
