Broken hearts they never mend
Bruised and tattered they beat within
Twisting and changing with every sin
Dealt or received they warp and bend

Until the day they feel nothing at all
No more pain
No more falls
No need for forgiveness
No way to forget
Too many wrongs
Emotionally spent

But a broken heart
Doesn't just quit
There's a longing
To feel something again

Because broken is better
Than emptiness
Feeling emotions
Is something we miss
As always comments are welcome.

Broken is better than emptiness. Sooooo true. I'm a HUGE believer of that.
Nicely summed up there, Jay. It's always better to feel something, even pain, than nothing at all.
Keeps reminding us we're alive, eh?
