PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've spent way too many nights
Just staring at the pieces
My heart's shredded in the floor
It used to be so precious

Don't try to touch the glass
You're the one who broke it
A new love, now, one of pure
Can help me try to mend it

The roses that you never gave
Aren't wilting on my desk
The songs for me you never sang
Aren't ringing in my head

Shattered hearts don't fully mend,
And dreams don't recreate
So don't bother now to send
The letters that never came

Jealous he's in the floor with me,
The glances we're exchanging
Gluing it back piece by piece
It's not of you we're thinking

Maybe when we're finished
My heart'll be whole again--
And I'll give it not to you, my love,
My heart will be for him

The roses that you never gave
Aren't wilting on my desk
The songs for me you never sang
Aren't ringing in my head

Shattered hearts don't fully mend,
And dreams don't recreate
So don't bother now to send
The letters that never came

Maybe a heart with taped up cracks
Can still amount to something
And maybe if you do come back
I'll be far past sulking

You'd be surprised how quickly now
Glue dries and disappears
And when it does my heart will bow
To one who wipes my tears

Roses that you never gave
On the desk aren't wilting
And songs for me you never sang
Through my head aren't ringing

Maybe shattered hearts do mend
And I'll dream again someday
But not of you,
Don't try and send
The letters that never came
