They say
'Follow your heart'
But if your heart is
In a million pieces,
Which piece do you follow?

it had been years,
but you still make
my breath catch.
i loved that boy
i left behind,
but i love the man,
i see before me now.

you and i just needed
time to grow into ourselves.
When I feel
my life is meaningless,
I remind myself
it is my responsibility
to make meaning of my experiences
by doing philosophy:
which clarifies
my aspirations and values,
which evaluates my experiences
in comparison to my aspirations and values,
which discovers wisdom
about what I can do
to improve my situation
to achieve my purpose: joy and happiness;
then my life is meaningful!
Or that he comes over
after two weeks
of civilised silence
to talk about their house - their
Pretty decent and nice
whilst running out
with their dog - their
a man of straw
as she did not splinter

"What colour is my heart?" she sings,
And as her voice soaks into me,
I feel you slink and coil yourself around my heart.
At first it felt like you were meant to be there,
But the longer her set goes on
The harder you squeeze.
"What colour is my heart?" she sings.
I know the answer.
My heart is black and blue,
Thanks to you.

I can't feel anything.
Why can't I feel anything?
Where did my heart go?
It ran away
It couldn't take me anymore.
Where did my tears go?
They almost dried up completely
But manage to visit
Every once in a while.
Where did my memory go?
I can't remember where I put it last
Maybe it's hiding from me.
Where did I go?
Nowhere and everywhere
