Electrical Conduction

A thousand notes scattered and scarred

Can you die of a broken heart ? 

Electrical problems they say - 

There's a thin line 

As I drive one last mile 

Praying all the way to the grave 

This time I'm alone . 

Hand stitched friendship bracelets 

Gold cross around my neck 

Tattered I am 

Used up 

What will they say ? 

As every dream streams down her face 

I hear the dial tone 

No one left on the phone . 

Can you die from a broken a heart ? 

I read the news this morning 

The pills prescribed are mine .
