Broken Circumstances

Where are the broken hearts?
That was left far behind
Circumstances hid them
Making them hard to find

There were two broken hearts
A hurt but loving pair
One too much and one too little
The pairing just wasn’t fair

Both of them felt broken
Neither one of them could bear
So they hid from each other
And their circumstances back there

  8. You captured that feeling very well, M. One really is the loneliest number, especially when you’re “supposed” to be a couple. Nothing quite like being in a relationship and still feeling lonely as hell. I hope your Valentine’s Day was full of warmth and smiles and not so much the lonely stuff. πŸ™‚
