The heart is the only human organ

That you can hear

I listened to it faithfully when

It told me to pursue you

Everything after that was

A beautiful story

A beautiful ballad that

Was on repeat in my mind

But every song must end

You found somebody else

And you left me

When you left me

I wished I could go back to the beginning

I wished that I was deaf

I wished that my heart was mute

When you left

My heart stopped talking for months

I wished for nothing more than to hear

My heart’s voice again

To know that I was still alive

And capable of speaking

When you said goodbye

The only thing you left me

Was the ballad of me

And my broken heart
