A Broken Mirror

Our love was destined to fail, 
I tried to save it without avail, 
For between us, you built a fence, 
Leaving me weak without any 
defense...

You turned my heart into a fortress
Inhabited by a soul sad and 
hopeless
But time has done the healing, 
Making me self-confident with new 
feelings...

In the Mighty One above, 
I found fortitude, peace and love...
I got the courage to bury my past
And forgetting a love I failed to 
cast...

Clearly, you became a loser and 
sinner
While I became stronger and a 
winner...
Now, I stand on a solid ground, 
Hoping for a real love to be found...
