Heart of Glass

Are hearts made to be broken?

For mine is made of glass

The pain is drawn like tiny cracks

That simply will not pass

The sound it makes is deafening

It cannot be ignored

It shatters all your hopes and dreams

Where all the love is stored

I've heard of hearts made of stone

Too hard to even feel

Those are the hearts that will not break

They have a protective seal

But mine it seems love passes through

Like a window without a reflection

Broken into a thousand pieces

With the slightest hint of rejection

Are hearts made to be broken?

For mine is made of glass

The pain is drawn like tiny cracks

That simply will not pass

This reminded me of part of a song. Repeating the first stanza at the end made this amazing :) That just really stuck out to me.

I thoroughly enjoy your style of writing. The topic in this... well expressed and the imagery of shattered glass is a fitting representation of heartbreak. Unfortunately I also do not have a "good" answer. The usual "pain provides growth" line doesn't provide me much comfort either... Excellent writing though - and I noticed you have quite a collection that I look forward to reading.
