Heartbreak



Why is heartbreak so expensive
When love didn't cost a thing
Except your heart
And my devotion
And
A large portion of my time
And
A part of your self worth
And the words you didn't say
And the ones I can't take back
And Love
It didn't take as much
But it didn't take too
Little
And heartbreak became the expense
Of a love that should have cost much more.
