Ice cream does not cure a broken heart,
Even if you eat half the carton.

Showers don’t cure heartbreak,
Even if you turn up the heat so high
Your skin burns and tingles.

Music doesn’t cure a broken heart,
Even if you blast it so loud
The walls vibrate and
Your sister hears it from outside.

No, none of these things cure heartbreak.
They merely leave you with a wicked stomachache,
Red, itchy skin, and ringing ears.

And you are still left to bear with a broken heart.
