Yes, even painful things have their purpose. I wrote this as a starter piece for a friend of mine to grease her imagination but I was stuck. I didn't know what to write to aid her.Then a process in my mind, that I had been mulling over flooded to me and this piece was born.
The Inspiration for this piece was an old conversation I had with a very wise friend of mine. Heres the scene, I had just gone thru a Nasty breakup, and I told him that I felt like the broken toy that my Ex didn't want anymore.
My friend was calm and reserved, like he always had been, and smoothly replied (paraphrased)
"The broken toys are the best to have around..." a confused expression flooded my face as he continued, "...the broken toys are best, because now, they are no longer what they were before... They can be anything an imagination wants, now"
Knowledge from the King of Clubs.
That was the first time I smiled following that breakup.

The Purpose of A Broken Heart
__________________
I stopped losing my place, the day that I knew you loved me/
For I had found my way back to love and found all I would ever need/
When your mind and heart are out of place, they work two different speeds/ My heart finally caught pace in the way that I never knew love could be/
I could show you the ways, because it would take forever for me to tell you, I'll spare you the minutes, see/
But honestly, forever would be the exact amount of time I would need to show you what you mean to me/
I could tell you how happy I am, but my smile says it in words that no language even knows/
I could show you how satisfied I am, but that feeling cannot be expressed in prose/
A heart intact is a heart not cracked, and incapable of containing true love/
The heart in fact is broken at times to make room to expand for new love/
For the love that follows is greater than the former love molded can contain/
So a broken heart can heal around the love deserved, and thus eclipse the pain/
