Things Poems Have Said to Me
Things Poems Have Said to Me
"Notice the beauty in the world."
"Love is still worth believing in."
"Does your heart remember this?"
"Let me surprise you with these words."
"Here is a little order in the midst of chaos."
"I know it hurts to be human."
"I have felt what you are feeling."
"You are not alone."
— John Mark Green

Broken Hearts Can Still Be Beautiful - Poem-
In the darkness, you shine brighter.
Despite the pain, your love remains.
This is the truth that your life shows:
Broken hearts can still be beautiful.
