Broken Hearts

Dreams of lost souls,
And hearts that never mend,
So she’s learned she must depend
Only on herself,
And absolutely no one else.
She finds it hard to cope,
But she promised not to stoop
To that low level once again.
And so, she has learned
That people must earn
Something called trust,
It isn’t something which should be given,
Although it often is.
This is where it starts all over again,
And where the broken hearts come in.
