Broken

Broken

parts get worn out sometimes from overuse
sometimes they just rust away from no attention
they will break if left unattended or subjected to abuse
that is why most things will come with some direction

a dab of oil and occasionally cleaned right
can prevent you from having to worry or fret
won't be waking you up in the middle of the night
with squeaky strange sounds making you sweat

a broken heart is of course another matter
there are no instructions and no guarantees
most lubricants for this will only make you chatter
and eventually bring you down to your knees

why is this the way things are way to often
words never said or sometimes misspoken
add another nail to your hearts coffin
why did we come with a heart so easily broken
