broken

 

she said “nothing breaks like a heart”     ain’t that the gospel truth      that bittersweet gem         plays upon my mind from time to time      both of us crying alone       where’s the sense in that?        for my part I have no illusions       great and terrible moments     scar my entire life      but her memory feels like home      because hearts are meant to be broken     and I prefer mine to remain so      

yes, I hold a candle for her still         wherever she may be      I grieved for her presence     and a broken heart is an open heart    I handed out the pieces      like bloody calling cards      I must confess         I took it hard       but I’m over it now      more or less        I choose to remember       I don’t choose to regret      a broken heart you never forget
