Here lies my heart, in pieces, so small,
A jigsaw of sorrow, one and all.
I dropped it on Tuesday, then tripped on it twice,
(Should've learned by now to take heartbreak advice).Oh, Requiem, sing for this fractured mess,
A symphony of woes and a dash of distress.
But please keep it brief—just a verse or two,
For I've broken a toe on my own "I love you."I gave you my soul—(return date expired),
Wrapped in black lace, but left so tired.
With each shattered piece, my heart's looking thin;
By now, even Dracula won't let himself in.So gather around, dear ghouls and friends,
As I mourn my love—and laugh at its end.
For hearts may break, but spirits will joke—
In this Requiem of the Broken, I'm not wholly broke.
