My heart no longer breaks
It did so long ago 
It shattered like glass
When your heart stopped racing 
Shards rose to my throat 
cut my vocal cords 
and pushed a river through my eyes

 A piece found its way 
through my scream to the sky 
The other appeared 11 months later 
in your brother's first cry 
Born wise beyond his years
he pieced together the cracks
But breaking like that 
my heart can never again do 
and forever is missing the piece in the sky
