My heart broke a few times yesterday
No, don’t apologize
Would you be the person you are
If your heart was never broken
If your view of life and
Who you are vs who you thought you were
Weren’t thrown out the window
Like his belongings after a bad breakup
And jumped on and pissed on and burned
My heart mended a little bit yesterday
Look the stitches are still there
It’s still raw and hurts to breathe
I’m still raw inside and cry a lot
I spent it alone, as of course I would
Who I am vs who I will always be
I picked up what was left on the ground
Including my favorite dress that just needed
A little hemming around the cuffs
I had a little time yesterday
Just to walk around with a coffee
In my hand and the warm wind
Blowing the fall sun in my face
Warm and cool at the same time
It’s been months since I just stood there
Remembered how it was before the heart broke
Knew when I held her body for the last time
I buried who we were in the backyard
I moved on to new things yesterday
Said this is what I want for new days
Like today, and say tomorrow will be different
My best friend is gone, and my new friends
And I have learned to forgive in moments
We helped pack up what we moved across town
Apologized for the glass and nick knacks
We threw on the floor and broke
And held our hands as we told each other
Why what was broken was so special
