Breaking In Two

I have put my trust in alot of people,
But only to be crushed.
I thought you were different though
And once again,
I was wrong.

I gave you my broken heart
To be mended,
But all you did
Was break it further
Down the middle.

I trusted you
And you let me down;
Taking my heart
And crushing it
To the ground.

I loved you
And you said that
You loved me too,
But when you cheated,
All the pieces came unglued.

Now how can I love again; 
Give my heart away,
If everyone I have ever loved
Has left me
To walk astray?

When I gave my heart to you,
It all felt better,
But now,
How can anyone love me
And all the pieces too
That you have
Broken in two?

Very sad and full of frustrations on the betrayal in love, Kaci
