The Break

Why do you want to leave me standing alone the once happy home, now half the throne we stood together through thick and thin the beautiful duo, together forever walks in the park, dancing after dark the love was golden we once shared I felt the eyes of envy, what a beautiful pair now you leave me feeling the despair stepping off this way, I can't explain my pain lying here broken, crying in shame. why did you have to be the first to touch me this way joy of once love, now you displace was it my cat like eyes that frightened you away was it the confidence my walk displayed that blurred my vision that dreadful day I had fallen once before, but never this way I let my guard down thinking you'd carry me always today the disappointment is right in my face but I will survive, I won't be defeated, maybe another day I will stand strong, I will walk tall I will never let the splints you cast keep me down. I will heal in just 6 to 8 weeks. A brand new ankle I hope you will remember me. "The Break"
