The Anatomy of a Broken Heart

Folder: 
General Love

Stage One: Dealing with it



This is where the heart has just been broken,

And you are unsure if it can ever be fixed.

You wonder if you can live without them

Because it feels like a part of you is missing

And you’re convinced only they can fill it.

You don’t know where the next heartbeat

Will take you and, frankly, if it means being

Without them, you’d rather not find out.



Stage Two: Seeking revenge



This is where the heart no longer feels sorrow

Instead it starts to look for ways to settle

The score with the one who broke it.

You hold them accountable for all the pain

They caused you, and you can’t understand

How they could have moved on so quickly.

So you find some poor person to make them

Jealous to prove you can substitute them.



Stage Three: Moving on



This is where the heart has repaired itself.

They have stopped crossing your mind,

And you realize there is a glimmer of hope

You will meet someone new soon

And probably even better than the last.

You hate yourself for feeling so strongly,

But you’re glad you let yourself love,

Even if you got your heart broken.
