The Sound of a Breaking Heart

The Sound of a Breaking Heart

A Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm

I will withdraw
Cut and run
Ride off into the sun
But it won't set
The heat never calms
I submit into evidence
These sweaty palms
All I know is
I gravitate towards the ones
That'll leave me
And push away the
Ones that'd stay
I hate it
But that's the way
Maybe it's easier
On me when it ends
Because I can pretend
It wasn't my fault
When the realty of it is
My heart's locked in a vault
No one can touch it
So when I find someone
Who doesn't want it
I let them lean up
Against that cold door
Because I can trust them
To never touch it
To never want it
It's not fair to the good men
That I love the bad boys
That'd rather trade a heart
For endless boy toys
And I can't even think straight
The sound of a breaking heart
Is a relentless noise
