You Broke Me Best

by Keith Amodia

You broke me best by leaving me

Alone without ear for a sorry plea

Nothing much for me is left

From love that for years I’ve kept

In shattered pieces you have sent

My heart hurtling down and rent

Apart from where it once before

Stood close to your beating core

I feared I’d die the day you left

My soul wither away in bereft

But then I learned you set me free

When alone I came to who I am to me

In pain I learned, by pain I grew

And much of it I never knew

My strength comes in times of fail

And light in darkness will prevail
