With The Absolute Best Of Love Poem by Shirley Harrison

I'm going to turn my broken heart inside out

and shake it fiercely until

all the disappointment

all the brokenness and pain

grief and loss

every last bad memory

along with all my sorrow

the suffering and humiliation

leaving it all, where it belongs in the gutter

washed away by the next rain shower

finally with the empty space it deserves

eventually, to be refilled

with the absolute very best of love.
