Two loving hearts grew distant, over the cold dark winter.
Once lushes, and vibrant, two hearts began to splinter.
One felt the heat of jealousy, their mind grew dark, and weary.
The other comforted endlessly, but their own heart grew dreary.
Until then one heart said, "no more", and let the other shatter.
Their love kaput forevermore, as if their love didn't matter.
One heart now in pieces, planted and tears soaked in the dirt.
They found their peace, one heart now full released of the hurt.
Two loving hearts once in wrath, learned to love themselves again.
Forever apart, they follow different paths, full hearts they gain.
