Heart-Broken Into Pieces

You left me there
Alone 
For my heart to tear
On my own
I shouldn’t have shown
How hurt I was
But the smell of your cologne 
Was still so fixed into my mind,
Entwined within every cell of my body 
Because I thought nobody could come between us
Until that girl you brought to bed 
Who looked good at a club

She probably had a cute curl in her hair
That dangled perfectly down her slim shoulders
And a pearl
That made her eyes look calm like the deepest oceans
But that shouldn’t have mattered
Because if you loved me 
You wouldn’t left me as shattered as glass,
Into little pieces
And now whenever someone tries to put me together
They will hurt themselves 
Cutting themselves on my razor edges
Most will give up at this point 
But the ones who stay
They will not find all of them
Because there are too many pieces to repair
All because of a stupid affair
