A Pain In The Heart Poem by RIC BASTASA

this is nothing
i tell you when you ask
this is nothing
i assure you
this is just a pain in the heart
and everyone has it
so this must be nothing
like everyone's suffering
this is nothing special
hearts break
people die
hearts bleed
people heal themselves
hearts are broken
and there are no heroes
no nobel laureates
for this common occurences
so why bother

your heart is broken too?
don't bother

i am shutting up.
