My Heart Was Broken Before It Fell

My heart was broken Before it fell Before it fell into the endless pit of love Where so many hearts After rocking around the sides Tumble head-first in a second And never come out It’s wonderful feeling of flying Even if you’re really falling There’s a sensation of everything Being all it could possibly be And you filled with more than yourself Or so I’ve heard. You see, I wouldn’t know. Before I could experience this phenomena I fell But not in love I…just…fell And broke into pieces And fractured that thing called trust And crushed that thing called hope And watched the idea of love Tumble from my grasp Fly out of my reach Disappear into the unknown Now I cannot even glance at that pit Into which so many willingly fall I stay far from it And wish I could dance on its edges But fear is a cage around my heart And chains on my wrists And my heart cannot heal Sing a song for me, blissful lovers Remember me as you do It might be hard to live after love is lost But it is empty to live without knowing love As I do.
