Strings attached

Something burns

And pulls inside and shifts and weighs it down

A smile through tears makes little sense

Unless there's love involved

Pain and happiness, companions

Strange and true, no other way

A loss is losing for the gain

Was great and now there is a gap

P.S.  This is about someone I know, two someones actually, they have a broken heart.  It's about a lost pet.  It affected me and this is what came of it.
