Heartbreak Words

You know 

What's funny 

About the heart 

Is that when it breaks 

Somehow

It keeps itself 

Together

Just enough 

So you can 

keep 

Hearing it

Shatter 

So you can feel 

The weight 

Of its emptiness

And sometimes

It’s quiet 

So you think that 

You've been strong 

But really 

Right at that moment

As you lay 

Curled in bed 

It wakes you 

So that you find yourself

Soaked in tears

It finds you 

At a red light

And reminds you 

Of the places 

You've been 

That you'll never 

See again 

And the pain 

Washes over you 

In wave after wave 

And then its over 

And the silence

Returns 

For three whole days 

While you walk 

In a trance 

Until you hear that song he sang for you 

Which makes you 

Look over at his picture

Where he's laughing

And you can almost

Hear it 

Almost feel it 

And you fall apart again and you wonder 

When it will ever stop 

And you think 

To yourself

The funny thing 

About a broken heart 

Is that 

Those pieces 

Find their way into you 

And every now and then when you move 

Just so, 

They cause a pain 

That doesn't let you 

Forget 

The heart

That's

Broken
