Broken Heart

poem by: Paul Stephens
Written on Apr 24, 2017

Nobody dies of a broken heart
Although I'm sure many have died taking one with them
Was I so wrong to fall in love?
Knowing the hurt that the ending would bring me

They say it's better to have loved than not loved at all
Which is something that now I am doubtful
One thing for certain that I know for sure
I'll not fall again because the outcome is so painful

My heart has been broken merely three times before
Each time it has not fully recovered
Is it just me that's affected this way?
Or is this how it feels for so many others?

There is a song that is so heart felt
When I hear it played I think it was written for me
The words say it all of my rises and falls
You're nobody till somebody loves you

So here I am now still nursing my heart
As I live in my world on my lonesome
I know when my time comes and I leave this world
I'll be taking my broken heart with me
