And there was a breaking sound When your heart fell out Through the crack in your chest where your rib cage cracked under the stress With the weight of the world on your shoulders You looked down at the shattered dark red pieces on the ground It's funny how you thought that something as fickle as love could hold us Through bright days, and dark nights The hundred ways you convinced yourself that you would be alright It's almost as if the lies you told yourself papered over the stress cracks The ones that became obvious in the sleepless moments of the night Started walking, one foot gingerly placed ahead of the other Leaving all the broken mosiac pieces to continue to fall and land where they may Never bending down, never picking up Mouth moving violently but there were no words to say Stress cracks, blood drains, first slowly until you stumbled in an obvious way Pieces fell, broken heart, love had left you and the implication tearing you apart All alone, stop walking, mouth no longer moved because you stopped talking Look ahead, dark nothing left, the human heart could only take so much stress
