Brooding heart

Tears shone like gems,
Words still left unspoken
As they parted ways
The beating heart's desires broken

Years had gone by, but
The beauty of the flowers
Nor the magical stars
Could save the heart that brood,
And bore the ethereal solitude.

As Love that failed
Was still love,
Unseen to the myriad eyes,
It rustled in the brooding heart
Where it safely dwelled.
