Despite The Heartache
/"Despite the Heartache" is a poem I wrote about the road one travels after he loses someone close to his heart.
There are times he doesn't want to keep going, but then he realizes his strength is a quality his loved one admired.
So, he stays the course.
————
It’s a long and lonely road
with hard work to delicate for your physic
on each step of this journey
since heaven’s gate called.
There are days
you want to toss in the towel,
no longer wanting to be above ground
wishing to touch him once more.
Then a song plays on the radio
like a sign from beyond,
making you realize
he loved the strength within you.
Although this path may be riddled with potholes
he trusted you to stay strong,
to keep going
despite the heartache.
