Things That Make Hearts Break

THINGS THAT MAKE HEARTS BREAK
BY: Ckolwethu Mthethwa

Like glass, matters of the heart are fragile.
Handled  carelessly they can be fatal.
Ignored they induce an ache worse than a headache.
Enter: "Things That Make  Hearts Break".

Deceiving pretty smiles 
and truthfully spoken lies.
Convincing gleaming eyes,
tragic lows and heavenly highs.
Rejection and loud cries.
Lost connections and broken ties.

There's only so much 
that our fragile hearts can take.
These are some of the things
that make hearts like mine & yours break...
