The torn heart sheds shattered tears

That fall in torrents in the shaken soul.

The torn heart cries at night

Alone and away from the light.

The torn heart aches and shivers

From the cold pain within that flows like swollen rivers.

The torn heart can never again be whole

For the pain has burrowed deep into the soul.

The torn heart sheds shattered tears

That make us afraid and feed our fears.
