Heartbreak is second nature
yet she plunges in again -
cold waters run deep
as she spurts forth
her reckless words
slung out like nets,
they sink, unclaimed
and ignored

She tries her hardest
to capture a heart, so
desperate for love -
if only she believed
three simple words:

first, love thyself

When you accept that,
everything else falls into place
like a new day's dawn;
full of hope and radiance
