Heartbroken

In the midst of friends, I felt alone
As my heart broke and turned to stone
They watched in silence, not a word to say
As my life fell apart day by day

Her smile once lit up my world
But now it's gone, my heart unfurled
She found a new place to shine
Leaving me with memories of a love that was once mine

The laughter we shared, the secrets we kept
Now laid bare, as my heart wept
She shared my messages, my every thought
Leaving me with nothing, not even a knot

But now I'm gone, I've walked away
Leaving behind the hurt and dismay
For in this silence, I found my voice
And in my absence, they'll feel my loss

So, let them see the wreckage of my heart
For I've found a way to make a new start
And though they watched as I fell apart
I'll rise again, a brand new work of art.
