I love how heartbreak doesn't happen only once,
Bits of you continue to shatter bit by bit,
Because the memories you created are etched into your skin,
And you can't remember what certain things looked like before you met him,
Whether it's a song or a picture, feelings resurface,
And for just a second you remember how with him you never felt worthless,
You'll have moments of strength when you vow to move on,
But they flee quickly when the reality sets in that he's gone,
A lifetime of reoccurring heartbreak can be heavy to bare,
Don't give your heart away to a man that doesn't care.

It is my theory
that we are all connected.
From the thread around your finger
to the ribbon on her wrist
and the rope tightened on my neck.
Every action has a consequence,
because when you pull on the string;
*something unravels.

You only need your heart broken once
To be able to create a lifetime of poetry

Maybe in a different time, place, or life,
we could have been together and not drowning in this strife,
But it is not the fate of fire to burn for forever,
Yet I thought that maybe we could beat the odds if we were really clever,
You cannot have a lover that is a star and not crossed,
You'll think you've found your way and when the earth shifts you'll be lost,
And if you know anything about the life of a star,
They burn brightest and then die as we watch helpless from afar.

I thought I knew what heartbreak was and how it felt,
But then I heard my heart shatter and finally knew what it meant.
