There is science to a broken heart When the heart strings that connect the valves of your soul collapse When the veins are full and heavy with the weight of let downs and false promises When your bones ache the same as a near fatal injury Know that it is not a phantom pain Not an empty longing For a temporary someone You mistook as permanence The ghosts of their skin forever haunting with their former touch The pain of a ruptured spirit Is equal to that of being hit by a truck Going full speed down the highway Lights off No warning signs Is equal to the pain associated with The inability to forget You place a do not enter sign around your heart Next to the caution tape Marked on your skin The science to a broken heart Can not be found In an anatomical enclyopedia But it's existence Is not to be questioned Heartbreak has been researched Enscribed by historys greatest For fitzgerald felt the blows to his being From love that thrashed with winds and currents A hurricane Often the subject of their own experiments, Writers are the scientists who study broken hearts Words used as algorythms Attempting to respond to Questions we might never get an answer to We're often left wondering And often time its suffice Because if we were to know why Why the sun aches for the moon When the moon only has love for the stars Why the theory of newton and gravity Will never account for humans falling Why storms are named after people If we knew We might not expose ourself to said research We like the unknowingness That science has yet to offer a conclusion to The unknowingness that is often synonymous With love.

The Science to a Broken Heart
There is science to a broken heart When the heart strings that connect the valves of your soul collapse When the veins are full and heavy with the weight of let downs and false promises When your bones ache the same as a near fatal injury Know that it is not a phantom pain Not an empty longing For a temporary someone You mistook as permanence The ghosts of their skin forever haunting with their former touch The pain of a ruptured spirit Is equal to that of being hit by a truck Going full speed down the highway Lights off No warning signs Is equal to the pain associated with The inability to forget You place a do not enter sign around your heart Next to the caution tape Marked on your skin The science to a broken heart Can not be found In an anatomical enclyopedia But it's existence Is not to be questioned Heartbreak has been researched Enscribed by historys greatest For fitzgerald felt the blows to his being From love that thrashed with winds and currents A hurricane Often the subject of their own experiments, Writers are the scientists who study broken hearts Words used as algorythms Attempting to respond to Questions we might never get an answer to We're often left wondering And often time its suffice Because if we were to know why Why the sun aches for the moon When the moon only has love for the stars Why the theory of newton and gravity Will never account for humans falling Why storms are named after people If we knew We might not expose ourself to said research We like the unknowingness That science has yet to offer a conclusion to The unknowingness that is often synonymous With love.
