~Broken Wing

By Highland Dreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am like a bird with a broken wing, That no longer has the power to fly. How I wish that my heart could sing, Instead of feeling like it's ready to die. Heavy is my heart from all the tears, Shattered are my hopes and dreams. For love causes pain, and pain causes fear, Fear causes me to shut down, or so it seems. Perhaps one day I shall love again, Like a bird with a broken wing. Perhaps my heart needs time to mend, Before it can once again sing.
