If antiseptic and a Band-Aid could heal my broken heart,
there would be nothing in the world that could keep us apart.
If a few simple stitches could sew my soul back up real quick,
a doctor and a tiny needle might have just done the trick.
But the way you ripped my heart up and the way you threw it down
makes it harder to collect it all than sand upon the ground.
Because the wounds have cut too deep and the blows have been hit hard,
the walls you have built between us are colored by its scars.

The author's comments:
It just came to me while I was IM-ing my best friend, so I sent her the first two lines. She came up with the second two and we finished and revised it from there. I'm not gonna lie, I like it a lot, but my rhymes have an uncanny ability to haunt me in real life... whuh-oh.
