Analysis of Heartbreak
My stomach bleeds
my liver mad,
why is my heart heavy
whenever it gets sad?
"You can always determine your own mood"
this is a blatant lie,
for when all of life turns against me
I can do nothing but cry.
For to properly show that I'm not shallow,
I must be sad
I must be hollow,
For if I appear to be quite cheerful
she'll think she didn't mean a thing,
when in reality
she meant everything.
