Broken Heart Morning

I woke up with a aching heart today
I knew something wasn't right straight away
The sun was too dim, silence all around
I went downstairs and a letter, I found

I knew the writing, it was written on my heart
But the contents of which just broke it apart
It was a letter of goodbye, A letter of sorrow
A letter that said, for us, there would be no tomorrow

If he didn't love me, who else could?
My breaking heart splintered like wood
how could he leave me! What did he mean!
Before I knew it, my cheeks were now a stream

I pulled my self up, my legs, brain and heart of led
shuffled upstairs and collapsed on my bed
Pulling the pillow up over my head
Wishing I never left there instead

It was just another, broken heart mourning 
Early in hours of that fine morning
