Bandaged By Words
How long can a heart crack?
Does it ever stop?
It seems endless to me-
That I keep breaking my own heart
Little pieces of me lost-
with every break
Words bandage my broken heart
Each time my pen strokes the page
I pick up the shattered pieces
I'll write a million novels
If that's what it takes
To piece my heart back together
