Love Poems Are Horrible And Here's Why

Forever I'll be broken

unable to trust

another with a key to my heart

Forever you'll be fixed

twenty-two in my mind when you left me

at the altar with the brides maids

best man, and a rusty old ring

Forever I'll be lost unable to taste my home

the church is empty, rain drips through cracks in the sky,

and the party has dispersed into a howling wind

Forever I'll be broken

unable to trust again another

with the secrets of my soul
