Dear David
Heartbroken is a word I finally understand.
It goes beyond sadness and hurt to the depth of who you are.
It’s a poison ink running through the waters of your soul.
A mercury settling and pooling in heavy places... But in this there is comfort.
For your heart can only break when it truly loved.
Only released its poison when the pain is so great it shatters all natural states.
My love is not perfect but it has been true...
My friendship was tested and I didn’t always pass - yet in the end I discovered loyalty counted most.
I’ll keep my heavy ink as a badge of honor a tribute to someone who meant so much his loss truly broke my heart
