This old heart is broken and busted
With hairline cracks it can’t be trusted
If you try to steal it you shall fail
This heart is unmistakably not for sale.

This old heart is beaten and bruised
Who wants a heart that’s been so used?
It’s been so lost and so mistreated
Romance has won, I’m finally defeated

This old heart is ripped and torn
Its seen love die, it’s always in mourn  
The red has leaked and now fades to gray
This is one heart has simply gone astray

This old heart is cracked and shattered
It’s all worn out, it’s finally tattered
So dried out it could fit inside a pocket
Paint it gold and it could be a heart shaped locket

This old heart is drained and tired
If only once it was the one desired
It once had a love but he was a faker
It fell in love with a man they call the heartbreaker.

Holy crap this poem has been driving me crazy! No matter how many times I change it I still don't like it. The beginning just popped in my head and I couldn't just leave that little stanza sitting there, I just had to finish it.

I'm either going to edit this or move it to scraps :p

Thank you:heart:

Your poems have gone more in depth and creative over time.
I hope the reason this poem drives you crazy is because your heart hasn't been broken that bad.

Yeah you're totally right, I should be more optimistic but sometimes it's hard.
