Time spent
Love built just to be broken
But aren’t hearts closed just to be opened?
Another day
With words left unspoken
And you?
You’re focused
On chasing empty emotions
Hurting and taking

Welcome to my lesson:
The art of breaking

Just one glance
Is all it took
You stole my heart
I was hooked
Added me to your little black book
Then took me for a ride

My heart
I left unprotected,
On my sleeve, now feels neglected
Thrown on the table were all my fears
You did your collecting, then disappeared
I was naked in mind and rejected
By one to whom I felt so connected.
Time to hide
Embrace the aching

This, my friend, is the art of breaking.

Break out the tissues
It’s time to cry
Pour out your heart to some weird passerby
You’re being suffocated
by your thoughts and their lies
“It happens, it’s life”
Quotes that mean to help, but don’t
Grasp the hopelessness, feel alone
Your life you begin forsaking

Now you know the art of breaking.
