Measurements

Why do we measure things?
Measuring how many steps it takes to get home,
How many cups of food we eat
Measuring our body mass,
And how tall we are
From our shoe size to our clothes size
So answer me this,
With all the things we measure,
Why don’t we measure how many times our heart breaks?
And how much more painful it is from the last.
Why don’t we figure out how many times our heart can truly break?
Measuring some of the oddest things,
Yet not one that actually means something to us.
