hearts are broken
that’s life
some will mend
and some won’t
is there a judgement?
wrong or right
or is it just luck?
blind sight
that’s all there is
just the seasons
winter or spring
that’s just life
and how long
you might live.

This image is titled “broken heart graffiti.” It shows a sad face painted in blue, with red hearts for eyes, and a heart that is outlined in white and appears to be broken, painted in red with a blue zigzag line in the middle, on a white wall.
Written in response to Sadje‘s What Do You See #306 photo prompt.
