“new exhibit, broken heart on display”

jakesevern

the way you captivated me

poured heart and soul

day and night into this

piece

to present to you

little did I understand of timing

just when the work was through

you up and flew

away, leaving me empty

little to say except

“new exhibit, broken heart on display”

what exquisite brushstrokes of pain

captive the audience in this museum of the same lame, lost, lonesome

name “Heartbreak”, what even does that mean?

breakage implies fixability

but for me it’s disability

can shove the pieces into the semblance of a shape, but it just ain’t the same

    It will never be the same, but it will be mended by you and time. Many hearts are broken many times (i know from bitter experience) and with time your heart will reside within a defense of self love where any suitor will have to prove their worth to get close to it.
    "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

    Enjoyed the flow of your piece today and the way you present questions within it.

      Well said, I like 'breakage implies fixability', but I guess if there are too many pieces even crazy glue won't help!

        haha perfect analogy - “crazy glue”
