A broken heart
Changes shape
Its chamber becomes
A trap to cage
A monster who is misunderstood
And heart break is a slow killer
And grief makes your body weaker
As you pretend that you are strong
When you know you never let go
But held on for as long as you could
The sides cannot hold
The monster it controlled
The damage is done
The structure has become
The symptom not the cause
Of a pain far worse
Than any other loss
And each breath gets short
And life gets caught
In the balance of body and mind
And heart break is loudest in
Silence that follows
A world crashing down
To the ground
A broken heart
Changes shape
What you feel is real
Whether you call it cardiomyopathy
Or heart ache that can heal
