Heartbreak

Sometimes heart break Is the most addictive Self inflicted lashes You know what hurts How to fix it But you chase the hurt anyway Dig deep in the ground And find it there In waiting and you nurse it Feed it your tears Chastise it with looks That makes it feel sacred Like its purpose was To spread its roots Down there Like a virus Build down to your soul Sit there heavy, and sink your heart Down the bottle of vodka Wondering why tomorrow Would even bother coming around When yesterday couldn't Sit around long enough When you are this broken But you feed the wound anyway Because sometimes pain Beats the thrill of a first kiss
