What is Heartbreak?

What is Heartbreak?

 

It feels like a trainwreck

>On a frozen lake

>>With spikes at the bottom of the lake

>>>That have been dipped in poison

>>>>But not poison that kills you instantly

>>>>>It just paralyzes you while you drown

 

What is Heartbreak?

 

It sounds like every instrument ever

>Playing every note and rhythm possible

>>While they all get hit by a bus.

>>>Full of wild animals

>>>>Slaughtering each other

>>>>>With dull claws

 

What is Heartbreak?

 

It tastes like blood.

>That's been poisoned

>>Mixed with sand

>>>And lemon juice

>>>>And rotten, dry plantains

 

What is Heartbreak?

 

It's the worst thing you could ever imagine

>But worse
