Analysis of Heartbroken



I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Could run out of tears
I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Got rid of all his fears
Words can either destroy or mend a relationship

I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Would need a shoulder
I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Could never find better
Hope can create miracles, even patch a dead organ

I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Should avoid debility
I once thought that someone who was heartbroken
Was deep into melancholy
Losing someone does not mean that you have no more dignity
