In his illustration of state of a broken heart, Graham Jones says that his heart has been peeled off like orange and has been left like ship wreckage in a deep ocean like. Now, his heart is floating hopelessly under the influence of tidal waves. He says that the heart which once belonged to his girl is now no more with her. Now, he is the only holder of his heart which has been wrecked. The sinking feeling as well as the numbness inside his head is devastating him. He does not have any hope to remain in the world. He does not want to live his rest of life and for that reason, writes his epitaph to world, so make people aware if the pain of a broken heart. This 'broken heart' poem displays the pain that the poet goes through, after his breakup.
An Epitaph To A Broken Heart
Take heed a tortured heart to heal
Scarred and bruised like orange peel
Worn, now empty cast aside
Like so much flotsam on the tide
It beats a lonely tune for one
Devoid of feeling, cold and numb
Its melody, now a requiem
That rides the wind of distant fen
Empty cold its essence gone
No spark or magic to keep it strong
Battered by the tears of time
No longer hers and barely mine
Deprived of hope, its plea's unheard
Its grief unshared, a wounded bird
Turned inside out, and torn apart
An epitaph to a broken heart.
