The Crack of My Heart

I heard the crack as my heart ripped in two

Looked down at my chest, blood seeping through

I watched as it tipped out and smashed on the floor

Gave one last thud, then beat no more

I fell to my knees, tried to piece it together,

Scraping up tissue in pointless endeavour

Pounding with fists of frustration and hurt

Watching my heart turn cold in the dirt

I picked up the shreds and held them to heaven

Cried 'Lord, please help me put this back together'

In desparation I turned to strangers around

'Can anyone help me scrape this off the ground'

Met with blank stares I wept with deep sorrow

For I knew my heart would not see tomorrow

I curled up in a ball with my heart in my hands

Waved goodbye to my life and all future plans

As I breathed out my last and my body turned stiff

I longed for the happier times before this
