A fragile heart, so easily shattered
By the words that cut like knives
The pain is real, it leaves you battered
As tears stream down your eyes

But listen closely to the silence
And feel the beat inside your chest
You'll find a strength, an inner guidance
That will help you face this test

For a broken heart can only be broken once
The rest are just mere scratches
So take a deep breath, give yourself a chance
To heal and move beyond the patches

Embrace the scars and wear them with pride
For they are a testament to your strength
A reminder of the journey you have survived
And of the love that you will find at length

So let your heart be open, let it shine
And don't be afraid to take a chance
For every heartbreak, every painful line
Is a step towards a new romance
