What Is It? Poem by Patrick Banda

heartbreak, what is it, what is heartbreak
is it a condition or a disease.how does it
feel, what causes it, can it be reversed.


sometimes, she sits alone and wonder, get
lost in thoughts.why are there so many
heartbreaks, she looks at faces, tears rolling
down.broken relations, shatered friendships,
homes torn apaart.


heartbreak, what is it, how powerful is it, why does
it hurt, why does it cause pain, why does it
leave us hopeless, leave us in despair, put us
in dismay, in dipression, in distress, in dejection
and in despondency.


of a thousand lips she has seen, only a few are
curved, curved into a smile.the rest are fixed,
fixed into sadness.eyes she saw, only a few
sparkle, the rest are flooded, flooded with tears,
all because of heartbreak.


is it an animal, is it a feeling, or a poisonous
fruit.is it a monster or a ghost.what is it,
what is heartbreak, how does it feel.
