Analysis of Broken Hearted

Leah Duncan 1975 (Minneapolis,MN)



Look in my eyes!
Do you see the pain?
Millions of tears'
ready to spill at any minute!
Every tear drop bears your name
Tells the history of the lies you told!
Mocking words of Love you whispered in darkness!
Marking me in your memory as cheap amusement!
A funny story to tell in years to come!
Hope my broken heart made you laugh!
