Broken hearts never really stop breaking.
They get tired and wait to fall asleep.
They jump up and down when seeing hope.

Whoever invented heartbreak
Is a sick *******.
Tales of loving and losing,
Something to do in ones' spare time.
A break from being bored.

When my heart breaks
It keeps time like a metronome.
One and two, and one and two.
Each broken heart is stitched to the one before.

Like a Russian doll,
People inside people.
My heart is in the middle
And it is small and breakable.
