When marriage goes a little wrong
A cup might take a crash
But when it fails and falls to bits
The heart takes the backlash
And like the cup that smashes up
It bleeds and is shattered
But not in ways as physical
Yet still destroyed; battered
For at the seat of who we are
The core of every one
Emotionally we’re vulnerable
To things that have been done
Translated by the head a top
Steered by neurology
The heart then takes the knocks; the strains
And weeps eternally
Lest that it is what it does unless
A plaster is affixed
When happiness helps heal the wounds
With kindness in the mix
And then the heart will jump for joy
Be blessed and smile anew
The past no longer there to hurt
Saved by love’s great sinew
To live a life of wholesomeness
That gives without a glance
The beat of grace; the stroke of hope
Best known as second chance
