Broken Hearts

When you don’t try hard enough and fail, or give up and fail, it breaks my heart.

When you get hurt, or hurt others, it breaks my heart.

When you don’t say what you want to, or when I don’t, it breaks my heart.

When you sell yourself short, or aim too low, it breaks my heart.

When you can’t admit that you are wrong, or create your own despair, it breaks my heart.

When you refuse to be happy, or cling to your problems, it breaks my heart.

When we don’t change and just let it happen again and again, it breaks my heart.

Our hearts have been broken again and again; but we heal, and we keep moving forward – or we don’t, and that breaks my heart.
