Broken Heart

Broken Heart
When the sun woke me up
with softened gaze
I saw your reflection
bathing in sunlight.
Bronzed and smiling
you appear in all
my daydreams.
I remember you
from old love songs.
You’ve appeared in all
my recurring love stories.
Baby, don’t give me
that wicked tempting smile.
I won’t fall for your charms
because I know who
you really are.
You’re my next broken heart.
