STORY STARTER

'When I was young, people always told me I would be a heartbreaker. I don’t think this is what they meant.'

Write a story with this as the opening line.

Heart Breaker

_When I was young, people said i would be a heart breaker. I don’t think this is what they meant_


I think they assumed

I would prance around

Going through partners

Like clothes i would wear


I think they assumed

I would never find love in one

And would browse the menu

Many times over


I think they assumed

I would tear people down

Leave them alone

And move on


_Well they assumed wrong_


I guess I am a heart breaker in some sense

But I break hearts

And heal them

Using only words


I tear people apart

Using words to express how they feel

And mend them together

Tell them it’s alright

Is that still a heartbreaker


I write to break and to heal

But not out of malice

Out of hope

that someone finds a purpose


So maybe they were right

Maybe I am a heart breaker

But not in the sense they assumed

_Because they assumed wrong_
