A Broken Heart

My heart it once was broken
Tormented, torn apart
It ached with every passing day
It felt it would never start

My heart it longed for better times
For things no longer here
It ached for lack of love
It tore a bigger tear

A valiant heart it kept on trying
To find a way back home
For it had given itself to him
And he decided to roam

A heart can only take so much
Before it finally has enough
It either withers up and dies
Or it becomes quite tough

My heart is true and strong now
It won't give up the fight
And if he does not cherish it
Then it will take flight

It'll fly away back home to me
And here it will remain
For a heart that has been broken
Can never remain the same
