The Heart Breaks

The heart breaks

break us

but never seem to fit

In the moment of time 

that they come in

If your heart breaks you wonder

Why the world would still spin

the audacity that others

won’t even notice it. 

if your friend’s heart breaks

it seems quite a shame

but not quite the same

it can’t be the same

because

it doesn’t seem it.

But to him it is worse

And yours is the lesser

And his is the better

And by better,

of course,

I mean worse

But without our friends

We’d never recover

And never another

Would have a chance

To break us
