Broken Heart

My heart is broken.

Crumpled.

Cracked.

Cramped.

My heart is broken.

Smashed.

Shattered.

Scattered.

My heart is broken.

Lost.

Aged.

Dead.

My heart is broken.

Boiled.

Hardened.

Torn.

My heart is broken.

Stepped on.

Punched out.

Beaten up.

My heart is broken.

Silenced.

Muffled.

Restrained.

My heart is broken,

and it hasn’t even been opened yet.
