my heart simply wont survive
that's what they all say
from ages 12 to 70
everyone swears by love

trust me
broken into a thousand pieces
it will still beat
you may cry at night
pray for it to stop
even plot to take your own life

but it still beats

it beats to remind you that your alive
that this is the bittersweet part of life
to have a heart

with each painful thump
a tear will fall
for days, weeks and most likely
months

can you die from a broken heart
i do believe that
you don't have to be older either
not for pain like that...
