When the Physical Heart breaks,
it may be patched by Man's Miracles
or remedied on the Stage of Therapy.
And though the memory may linger
as abstract impairments or scars,
in Time, all will fade to a tolerable shade of grey.
When the Spiritual Heart breaks,
the pain transcends the senses,
and inflicts the deepest of wounds.
Too often, Grace and Faith escape,
and the Hurts are left behind
to rot within our very cores...
We carry these Ruins of Hurt
from one lifetime to the next--
It is thus that our broken selves re-appear
as Black Spots on the Hands of Innocents.
