A cautionary tale

Broken hearts, like shattered glass Can never be made whole, no matter the pass Time may heal the wounds, but scars remain A reminder of love, that could never be regained Like fragments of a dream, lost and astray The pieces of a heart, can never be made to stay The cracks and the fissures, the breaks and the pain Can never be fully mended, no matter the gain Memories linger, like whispers in the night A bittersweet reminder, of love's fleeting light The ache within, a hollowed-out space A heart that's been broken, can never be replaced So let the shards of heartache, be a reminder of the past A cautionary tale, of love that didn't last For broken hearts, like shattered glass Can never be made whole, no matter the pass.
