within you

your heart

hast to be broken

will be broken by the

disappointments of people

posturing and posing and pretending

presenting themselves as they know

themselves and sometimes with

duplicity, we are all, always

figuring it out, aren't we

who we are

your heart

will be broken

and then you will know

what it is like to stand in

the great loneliness of this

equation, not questioning the

words that come, the people

that come, the fabrications

but only having

acceptance

your heart

will be broken

and you will know

eventually, as we all

eventually come to know

the great illusion we have been

living, and with that sadness

with that broken heart

a compassion and an

acceptance and a

love will grow

within you
