Broken Hearts
Raven Shepardson
August 31, 2012

Day in and day out
We are the keepers of this thing called love
We can make it happy or make it sad
We can break each other’s heart
With just one word
Life is about the struggles you make it through
It’s about the good times
It’s about the sad times too
It’s about remembering why you came together
And never forgetting that
During these past few years
We have forgotten the “why”
We have broken each other’s hearts
In so many ways
Mending our broken hearts will take time
No one can ever really know why we do what we do
Or if there is a rhyme or reason for the trials
We’ve gone through
We only know where we want to be
And our hearts want to take us there
Through the hours of tears
Through all the fears
Our broken hearts come through
Fractured and mended back together
The fractures make us who we are
And who we will become 
We are the broken hearts
The ones who will never stop trying
To make things better
Or trying to make them work
My broken heart will never forget
Are there second chances for the broken hearts
