Photographs still
Teacup shards scatter on the floor
Tears fall down her cheeks
Heart breaking at the door
Photographs still
Glass shards scatter on the wall
Tears track down his cheeks
Heart breaking at the window
Kettle screams
Hands shake as water pours
Tea to calm the nerves
Heart breaking at the stove
Kettle screams
Hands shakes as doors close
Tea to warm the hands
Heart breaking at the door
Water runs
Whiskey eyes stare at nothing
Wishes forgotten float away
Heart breaking at the mirror
Water runs
Stormy eyes stare at everything
Wishes remembered float around
Heart breaking at the sink
Candles flicker
Chocolate curls settle on her pillow
Dreams broken in his hands
Heart breaking at the moment
Candles flicker
Sunny strands settle around his hand
Dreams broken in her mind
Heart breaking at the sight
Covers settle
Shoulders shake in quiet misery
Hopes lost to memories
Heart breaking at the bed
Covers settle
Shoulders drop in quiet misery
Hopes fade to memories
Heart breaking at the pillow
Mattress moves
Shattered voice raises the question
"When did you change your heart?"
Heart breaking in the silence
Mattress moves
Shattered voice whispers the answer
"In your hesitation, I found my answer"
Heart breaking in the whisper
Head turns
Quiet eyes search his heart
"Why did you come back?"
Heart breaking in the asking
Head turns
Steady eyes search her heart
"In your pain, I found my answer"
Heart breaking in the answer
Fingers shake
Sunny strands slide around her hand
"Why did you come back?"
Heart stops in the moment
Fingers shake
Chocolate curls settle in his hand
"In your strength, I found my answer"
Heart stops in the movement
Eyes close
Fragile hopes rise in her eyes
"Why do you stay?"
Heart starts in the shadows
Eyes close
Fragile promises in his eyes
"In your hope, I found my answer."
Heart starts in the light
Lips meet
Heart shards knit into one
"When will you leave?"
Heart heals in the night
Lips meet
Heart shards melt into one
"In your love, I found my answer."
Heart heals in the dawn
