Broken Hearts

Daughters break the hearts of fathers
it's the natural order
.

My heart is broken each day I read the news
I don't read the news too often
innocents dying
.

I broke the heart of my cat once
garage locked
we break hearts by the most trivial of things
innocents crying
.

I have not broken your heart
but I will if you let me
on riverside and under trees
in the gentle rain
again a lover's heart will fall
.

Broken hearts are so perfect and
full of beauty
.
