I thought it would be easy to mend your broken heart you'd only need some stitches I figured I was smart I'd wrap you here with masking tape some thread for a stitch or two I'd bind one half with ribbon wrap and seal the rest with glue I reasoned that you'd heal in time with help from The One Above if you knew how much I really cared If I gave you lots of love Well I did all that, and even more I rubbed you down with salve the balsam kind with lanolin I gave you all I had I fed you with a gentle touch the broth of true concern and read you books with healing thoughts with hopes that you would learn I managed to stop the bleeding though your heart was still irrate it shook with sighs of quivering and began to palpitate I began to think you'd be alright that I had the magic stuff I used every remedy that I knew but somehow it wasn't enough Your seams began to burst apart my stitches could not hold your bleeding heart was gushing fast your pulse was turning cold I couldn't bear to watch you die that slow and fateful death So I walked away and left you there I failed - just like the rest I still have thread and sutures to bind up broken hearts but I think I'll save them for myself cause that's where healing starts - |
