All the broken pieces
all the shattered hearts.
They once were all together
but have been ripped to parts.
I tried to stitch them back
to put them back together.
Yet what once was broken
will stay like that forever.
I tried the glue of friendship
I tried the tape of love.
Yet still I found them drowning
they couldn't stay above.
I tried to make it work
I willed my heart to beat.
Yet to my dismay
the heart produced no heat.
And so I left it there
bleeding on its own.
And I whispered to myself
I really should have known.
