Death by a Broken Heart
by Amanda  Hodgson

My fragile heart,
Why do you play with it this way,
Like a pigskin in the wind?
It's already broken,
Haven't you done damage enough?
Crumble it till it's no more,
So I can love no other 
But thirst after you,
Wanting to drink your face and body in, 
Like sweet champange
Making me giddy and aloof,
Drugged on love..
That's what you want, isn't it?

But I won't be contented anymore by thoughts of you.
My shattered heart bleeds again, 
When your image arises in my mind.
Seeping through my viens,
It spreads like a disease, 
Infecting every nook and cranny.
Is there no vaccine for this hatred, Love?
So many die from it,
Leaving them listless and bitter,
You'd think there'd be an institute somewhere,
Searching for the cure...

Why do you continue to stab me, so cruel Cupid?
Can't you see I suffer enough?
My poor aching heart can take the beating no more,
Apathy, I welcome you,
Sweet oblivion of the soul.

Looking through my eyes, 
My life goes on,
But is it really my life anymore?
Peephole into the world, 
Please don't find that boy who trampled my heart,
It is no more.
I go through the motions
And the world goes on.
They said it wouldn't kill me...
But it might as well have.
