In Smithereens

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life:" Robert Frost



A
thousand
scalpel nicks
on his poor heart
How her words cut deep!
"Sorry, you're not my type"
That's a bit much to take from...
the object of his affection
Bright hopes of a budding romance, dashed.
Rejected; his heart left in smithereens
