Broken Vessel

As I lay alone pondering in bed
You know very well this is in your head

Your thoughts of me were totally exposed
All of my feelings shared now a door that's closed

My efforts to give you happiness in reserve
Hind site 20/20 was always more then you deserve

Like the distruction of a hurricanes wake
Were you ever in my corner for heavens sake

The fitting end you wanted is what you got
Heart felt feelings all but lay in rot

As you find yourself empty inside
My arms no longer your sanctuary to hide

You told me once  that I was "nothing special"
What is sad, your heart was just a broken vessel!
