the gentle sound of a heart being broken

smiles across begin to fade
ignited by fake intentions
movements slow down
as emotional attrition sets in
limbs start to paralyze
as if drenched in toxins
the weight on your shoulders
threatens to break your spine
long glances betray
the fleeting feelings gone astray
the cracks begin to show
in that fragile organ of yours
take no heed
for it is just
the gentle sound of a heart being broken
