After Brad’s girlfriend broke up with him,
he said she broke his heart in so many pieces
that like Humpty Dumpty’s pieces,
his heart could never be put back together again.
He said he’d become like the Tinman
without a heart and better to be without a heart
than with a heart that can be broken.
He always said that when he got drunk,
when he tried to forget the woman
who broke his heart beyond repair.
