Broken Hearts
How pitiful of me
To carry your heart
In my own
When I know it beats
A somber tone
How credulous of you
To speak to heavens
So lovingly about us
Urging for my return
As footsteps we heard
Walked past each other
And not a hint of love
Exchanged a look
Perhaps it's best
How clueless we are--
Unprepared to mend
Two broken hearts
