Strong Heart no more

As she looked in the mirror,
all she could see was a tear-streaked face,
and cheeks as pale as the whitest lace.

She had heard it before, it’s not ok
to put your heart into something that way.

To give something your all, only to be crushed
To turn a strong heart into a bull of mush.

Her lesson was learned, and now and forever more,

She would never again fall in love with the boy next door.
