Worn paths at the park
Lying on the roof at dark
These forgotten hearts
Have been bruised and marked.
They drown in the emptiness
Of a shallow world
Because to them society it's ugliness unfurled.
They know the secrets,
They heard the lies
And they can tell from your eyes the last time you cried.
It's the day he left you
It's the night your heart raced
Details and words your mind retraced
Forgotten hearts aren't just broken from love
They're torn at and eaten from below and above.
You can fall to their ranks
Yes, kind deeds come with no thanks
Their world is reality
To think trusting is fatality
But even a forgotten heart
Can live and love and just restart
Because yes, this earth
Can bruise and tear
But in the end it's worth
The fight we learn to fear.
