Where shall the broken hearts go

Who have been told to let go

Of the agony and destruction

Caused by shallow souls that met

On the subways and crossroads.

Shadows on the moonlit walls

They say you would forget it all

What they never told however

They too possess the aching souls

Like tea stains on a diary page

Love once done can never fade

The shrapnels from a hand grenade

If taken out gives only pain

The bodies consumed

On a winter night

What empty mouths called

“A lover’s bite”

The warmth of finger tips

As the heavens unite

The unity a nightmare

Was love actually there?

The unrequited tales of love

Stories that never ended still breathe

Leaving broken hearts behind

Captive inside the dusty mantle piece

Used to of love,

Now don’t know what to do.

Their sun went dark

And all the moons and starlight

There are many reasons to die

Yet love kills you while you’re alive

Because last time it never meant see you later

But a forever goodbye

Years from then

Heart still remembers

What mind does not

Flame still smoulders

But the fire’s gone

Broken hearts bleed through the cracks of past

Into the forbidden temple

Where scars stay forever

Love, forever gone.
