Broken Up
Broken up.
How can I say what feelings stir my soul?
How to describe the emptiness inside?
Love with its mixture of the bittersweet
Caused my sore heart to falter then it died.
I needed more than you were free to give.
I knew that it was bound to end in tears.
So, better lonely now while I have strength
Than face it with the passing of the years.
Forever will my heart remember you.
The love I gave you I cannot revoke.
You brought to me such happiness and joy.
The woman that was in me, you awoke.
And now my world is filled with dark despair
It stretches ever forward into time.
I’m left with only half a life because
I know that you will never become mine.
For all time you will hold a piece of me.
The memories remain within my mind.
Forgive me for the hurt I may have caused,
I truly never meant to be unkind.
If you should ever chance to think of me
Then maybe you will find in a small part
The strength to pardon me for all my sins
As I do you, because, you broke my heart.
