Broke(n): A Play on Idioms

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

I was begging to be noticed

when you looked my way.

 

I was grasping at straws,

trying to drink in your attention.

 

The end justified the means:

a cure to my loneliness.

 

So you broke (me) in

then broke me apart.

 

I knew you were a temporary fix,

but you left me in pieces.

 

Broke(n) is an understatement;

I was torn to shreds.
