The advantages of a broken heart in todays world
Sadness beckons me to to places dark
Places where bitter melancholy can be sipped
A bitter wine, vinegar and vile
Where sunlights blinding glare
Is a light at the end of a black tunnel
Emotions suppressed, repressed, depressed
Unacknowledged for fear of the pain they hold
An automaton moving through the world on a set path
Prepackaged respones for all situations
Connections blocked with a brickwalled word
A polite nod, a pasted smile, a canned laugh
Well adjusted, fine tuned to fit in
Nothing real is needed
To make it in the world
Love is obsolete
Love is a burden
Love is a handicap
The greatest gift for success today
Is a broken heart
