Heart On Hold

I ignore the fact that my heart is broken,
That you could just forget all the love spoken,
Meaningless promises, you fed me lies,
How could you go on for such a long time,
Investing so much, making me believe,
That my heart belonged to you, and your heart belonged to me,
Sometimes I think you lie to yourself, that our love still remains,
But if you can just forget I'm here, than why should I still wait,
Should I put my heart on hold for you, or accept that you don't care,
You push me out, than pull me in, streching my heart to wear,
I live with a constant reminder of a love I felt so deep,
And the only way I know how to recover from the pain is in my prayers before I sleep,
I smile and keep on living, yet my heart is dying inside,
Asking God to give me strength to forget this love I hide,
There are no words to describe it, the constant ache I feel,
I believed you truly loved me, I believed our love was real.
