Assembly Required

 

 

 

this contraption,

my heart,

directions were misprinted

something missing,

 

i had no idea how to put love together,

forgot key steps,

and when it tried to walk on its own

 

my heart

imploded

 

forgot to fill out the warranty 

now, stuck with a broken self.

Great idea, cleverly written - put together with poetic skill. A fine write.

Fantastic metaphor. Life does not come with instructions. Sometimes I think some of the parts needed to construct a proper life are intentionally left out of the package! Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think that too about the parts....thank you, Lydi..

and the instructions are always too complicated, unnecessarily...

Touch wood, nearest I have come so far is when my first pooch died, distraught. Never had close family members pop their clogs, yet...
As always enjoyed the visit and the plus side is I had an inkling to the meaning of the content

thank you for your kind words and how you related..

Love the playfulness of this tale of woe! I'm certainly relating to this situation . . . I think most people do botch the ole heart routines and end up with a broken one at some point! Nicely true-to-life & relatable!

thank you for your kind review, barleygirl,
