My Heart Broke

My heart broke and it felt like my eyes turned into Niagara Falls.

My heart broke and it felt like no amount of super glue could ever combine the pieces again.

My heart broke and it felt like hands were only made for hitting never holding.

My heart broke and if our pillows caught our tears mine could fill a reservoir.

My heart broke and calculus homework somehow didn't seem to matter anymore.

My heart broke but after my reservoir dried up and all my super glue was gone, I finally looked at my heart through the cracks.

My heart was broken but the inside wasn't a hurricane,

there were no blood stained memories crowding the space,

no. All I could see was cobwebs filling the corners,

filling the corners.
