perhaps hearts only function
when broken
dearest heart,
why do you act so?
lashing out with your love
and your flames
as if your loves won't ever
burn
perhaps only broken hearts
can realize
what happens when you love
dearest heart,
have you no care?
where is your caution
of love's hurts
and scars?
but perhaps she is at a point
where she cannot tell
broken from whole
and which pieces of her
function
or fail
