through countless broken hearts
giving up was the best way
being alone seemed tolerable
at least i could pretend it was okay.
broken hearts may mend,
but they don't forget
they are never the same
they make your feelings regret
in the long run
broken hearts don't forgive
with every future opportunity
they shut down and relive
the past mistakes
and heartaches
the pain inside
innocence it takes
keep stabbing a needle in my heart
because i can't feel the pain anymore.
