Dying of a Broken Heart


When the heart is full One has the utmost trust in others One is at their happiest When the heart is at 75% One's trust has been broken One becomes depressed One's heart is at 50% Heartlessness begins But still have little heart just others can't see One's heart is at 25% When one gives trust again But at great risk When one's trust Has been betrayed again One dies of a broken heart One maybe about 37% Too afraid to give trust again So others beware of the consequences (June 5, 2016)
