You Break Her Heart Every Time

You Break Her Heart Every Time

you break her heart every time
with your views
and every time
i gather up the pieces
and wonder,
how can or will i,
be able to put them back together again
you push her down the progressive well
into a spiral,
of cloying depression
with your passive aggressive attacks
i watch her heart break
and wonder how i can put it back
your anger
sneers at those close
and i wonder why
you want to break her heart every time
the loos fish,
get caught in the net
and they forget
the school that they once swam with
you break her heart every time
and i watch her cry
and yet, surely, you have no idea as to why
