I'm writing a song about heartbreak.

For heartbreak, you might use metaphors like 'love is a shattered mirror' or 'my heart is a deserted island.' These images evoke feelings of loss and isolation.

Can you help me come up with more metaphors?

Sure! How about 'our love was a fleeting shadow' or 'your smile was a sunrise that faded too soon'? These can convey the transient nature of love.

I love those! How do I incorporate them into a chorus?

You could create a chorus that repeats a powerful metaphor, like 'Our love was a fleeting shadow, lost in the night.' This repetition can make it memorable and impactful.
