Heartbreak

A ruptured heart,
        within it's lining,
    medical science proves -

The body drains,
        and from the system
   all the blood removes.

A watery serum left
        is all that therein
    will reside -

As that which flowed
        from Jesus when
    they pierced
      His precious side.

Was this the cause
        of death upon
   The Cross at Calvary;

Did His Heart rupture
        caused from weight
   of sin by you and me?

Three days it took
        for most to die
    from crucifixion's start;

Yet, Jesus died
        in just six hours -
     He died
        of a Broken Heart !
