Glass heart
Crashing to the floor
A rainbow of memories
In a billion little pieces
Their jagged edges cutting
As shaking hands
Try to reshape what is theirs.
The tears mix
With the blood
Scars will take time heal
No point in hurting anymore
Cannot love a love that’s broken
No reasoning in loving
Love that hurts.
Don’t fix that shattered heart
It’s broken past repair
Don’t waste your time
Don’t stop and stare
Wipe the tears away
Wash you hands clean of the blood
Shape yourself a stronger heart.
Love a love that’s worth it.

When I have these contests, every now and then someone gives me something that is a twist of what I asked for and this is that! I LOVE it!!! I love the images of the broken glass heart (reminds me of a song "Shattered Heart" by Brandy). I like this here:
No reasoning in loving
Love that hurts.
Don’t fix that shattered heart
It’s broken past repair
Don’t waste your time
and then the last two lines are awesome and sum it all up...don't fix get, make a new one!! Lovely! Thanks for entering and good luck

I like this piece.
It brings out the true nature of heartbreak in a very clear way. Everyone, myself included, tries to mend a broken heart. No one seems to think of building a new one.
Brilliant.
