longdistance

There once was a boy

with such a sad disposition.

He smoked like a chimney

but died of other conditions.

They concluded natural causes

But they found no real evidence.

No marks on his body

No signs of resistance.

Later in the autopsy

They were confused by his heart

He'd been living just fine

but it was somehow broken apart.

They gauged when it withered

Which dated years ago

The date meant nothing to anyone

Except Ashley, who'd know.

In some strange way

Allen was able to go on

Without a heart that worked

Yet he managed for so long.

So what killed him, exactly?

No one can be sure

Maybe he tried to fall in love again

Maybe a new girl was the cure.

But how can you fill a bucket

With a hole in the bottom?

Before Allen could love someone else

The emptiness caught him.
