Balloon

I think love is just like a balloon

we give everything

we pour out our lungs

just to see that balloon grow bigger and bigger

until we're all burned-out

until the balloon couldn't handle itself any more

then it suddenly pops

all torn out into little pieces

and there we are

staring into the blank space

wondering where it all went wrong

but we couldn't find out why

maybe balloons were meant to pop

and maybe hearts were meant to be broken.
