How do you heal a broken heart?

How do you heal a broken heart? Roses, chocolates, warm hugs and cute gifts
Lose meaning, like embers turned to dust

How do you heal a tainted vow
With more lies to remind you
Of how small you though of me
To make a fool out of me

How do you sleep at night
Knowing that all this time
Nothing was ever real

How does one move on?
When every breath reminds me of you
When my heart beats for you
When bones ache in silence
When every night is another day where I’m defeated
Where your words turn to lies
Where my doubts reflect my sanity
And my gut tells me told you so.

Where are you?
Who found me perfect
Who missed my embrace
Who longed to hear my voice
And tell me all about your day

Who are you?
Who am I?
What is this?
Why does it hurt?

Human, walking away
Have you not heard of love
Like I have felt for you
Do you not know the meaning
Of loyalty or devotion
Or is it just that your kind
Was never meant to be trusted

Human, weak of heart
Have you forgotten when you planted me
When I was but a little seed
I slept until you came to feed
6, 9, 12, 3, the cycle repeats
The cycle forgets

Human, frail and weak
Do you not see, the first leaf
The first smile, the first gasp
The first gone and flower to show
So you broke my heart
With a flower she could throw
Into dust and trample onwards
She never looked back
Poor human, I saw your broken heart
What a disgrace…

Human, young with a broken heart
I listened to your songs for thy lover’s heart
And I spread my branches all around
My foliage was your armour until you were sound
I called my friends, sparrows and thrushes
And songbirds and gales till your feet touches
A fallen fruit from my bare birches

Human, strong with a hardened heart
You took a blade and cut my bark
Carved your name with the selfish dame
But forgot mine for time to tell
Summer was gone and so were you
You loved beauty in your blues
But all I had were orange hues

Human, old and dying beneath
Tell me was it worth to lose and weep
To chase and run for pelf and fame
Her love stays rotten under your name
You gave me home when I had none
Your bones are charred, your blade numb
Your voice is cracking, your time is done

Human, gone but never forgotten
Lies beneath my feet in the dirt coffin
Unknown to the world but loved by one
The little seedling he saved from the winter’s burn
And so I bend a little low
Till my branches cover over you
And heaps of garlands fall beneath
I weep for a human’s fragility
A glistening periwinkle shines bright
Pitch black, swirling, freezing on sight

Human, gone. Tree, going
The last leaf remembers falling
The birds are gone and the branches bare
Sprinkling fairy dust, winter is here

Play me like a violin

I still remember when you said you were lucky to have me in your life.
And when you said you loved me and you want nothing else but me.
Or when you said that you were afraid of losing me.
Or that you would never hurt me.
It’s not funny at all when you did
Hurt me every possible way you could
Try to remove me, unlove me, delete me
Block me, kill me, unravel me, throw me
Break me apart like I was this stain
That wouldn’t get off from your skin
Like a shame that you just couldn’t stand
But, hey, you were a pretty boy
With eyes like charcoals cause when they
Burnt they left holes onto my skin
And when it rained it poured and your arms
Provided me shelter for a while
Until it was time for you to punish me again
But even after all that you said and did
And got over with and ran
I’m stuck on the side
Baby, I’ve been here a while
Cause I love you still and you can tell
That I can’t pretend to sell hearts for show
Man, I was your friend, your bud for life
And you threw me off the track
On this roller coaster ride.
