A friend of mine recently broke up with his girlfriend. I wanted to write something to let him know I knew what he was feeling and came up with this.

Heartbroken 

We open our hearts 

to people, we think, 

will keep it safe. 

Only to find 

they weren't worth it 

in the first place. 

We allow them in. 

To explore our bodies 

and our minds. 

We do this because 

love is blind. 

We think they will 

love us for eternity. 

We hope and dream 

about building a family. 

We go about our daily lives 

imagining life is so grand. 

Only to learn, 

from our partners, 

that love is bland. 

Darkness intrudes. 

Depression sets in. 

Our hearts, 

once full of romance, 

start to spin. 

Out of control 

is what we feel. 

Our perfect passion 

has now become unreal. 

What is this feeling? 

Why does it have to be this way? 

What did we do? 

We try so hard 

to live day to day. 

When in reality, 

the pain from a 

broken heart kills us.
