Broken Heart Whole
As I looked into your eyes
I knew this love was true
And without reservation
I gave my heart to you
But you were God’s own angel
Sent in human form
To set me free, to help me see
To guide me through the storm
You had no recollection
Of the contract of your soul
For our Lord had bid you sleep on still
That you would make me whole
A sacrifice so noble
I can hardly contemplate
The well of love within your heart
My gratitude is great
My heart it was so fragile
So fearful and unsure
You knew there was no other way
To cleanse and make it pure
So you took the heart I gave you
And you shattered its’ weak form
And as it bled, and tears were shed
God healed and made it strong
It was a love much greater
Than the worldly love I craved
My spirit understood this
As my earthly being grieved
Each time you seemed to leave me
You were never really gone
Our spirits were united
And I knew our love lived on
I understand you were my mirror
The power was my own
To hate or love, the choice was mine
I’d reap what I had sown
No one but you could do it
It was no easy task
To watch me cry, to let me die
To rip away the mask
The mask I wore was solid
My faith in love was gone
And it was you who held the key
To let my heart grow strong
Had it been another
I would have walked away
Closed my heart, and let us part
You were my destiny
No matter how my ego fought
I couldn’t lock the gate
I cared for you so utterly
There was no room for hate
And so my heart it opened
With the grace of God above
I learned the precious lesson
Of an unconditional love
And then it didn’t matter
If you didn’t love me back
For the love I feel for you lives on
In the beating of my heart
And so I lost, but yet I won
And that was your true goal
To return to me the power to love
To re-connect my soul
I know that God is with you
And that when the time is right
He will too awaken you
To the beauty of your light
And one day you will understand
The wonder of it all
And see the pure perfection
And precision of God’s Law
My gentle precious angel
With these words I set you free
To walk your path
To claim your heart
To meet your destiny.
