Poetry from Mind

📖 English Summary

This poem reflects on the painful journey of heartbreak and the spiritual rebirth that follows.

As a deep crack in the heart gives way to a new self, the speaker finds strength to empathize with and comfort others in their sorrow.

Ultimately, as black grief softens into a light green hope, a quiet gratitude blossoms for the divine love that brings true inner growth through suffering.

 

 

Heartbreak

 

Have you ever experienced heartbreak?

Will it be good or bad for you?

 

At the moment of encountering it,

tears flow for days upon days.

tears fall on their own,

whenever I try to hide sadness.

 

At the last moment,

I feel deep pain in my heart.

There was a crack in my heart,

and they call it heartbreak.

 

After the crack,

I slowly become another person.

For the old self of mine was gone,

I got newly life.

 

Without a kind of dying,

I couldn't escape from the sadness.

God permitted me that pain

to understand many other people,

to be kind to others,

and to share their sadness.

 

Even now, I still feel a faint trace of it,

yet, its collor has shifted

from deep black to a tender light green.

 

I thank for the God.

As the God loves me,

he gives me this kind of pain

to make me whole.
