A small preface:
I think teenage heartbreak is one of the most abstract things in the universe, it doesn’t really make sense that it occurs, since we aren’t trying to love for the long term, and yet, it often hurts more then what we feel when we grow up. The formable parts of years are then spent in the fear of love, instead of embracing it. The truth of love, in my opinion, is that in our teenage years we have to get hurt. We need to feel the pain of a heartbreak to grow past it and develop an understanding that we then have in our adult years.
The Truth of Teenage Love
my heart was a paper mache pinata
made of the thinnest strips of newspaper
with watered down glue keeping it together
your heart was a baseball bat
contempt on breaking mine open
taking the contents like a child taking candy
my paper mache heart is so easily crushed
so i protected it
but it was different with you
i handed you the paper mache
i trusted you to hold it
you hung it up
and broke it with yours
