I Did Not Know

I did not know It would be such a blow. My heart strains and cries. No matter what lies To myself I tell, It is in pain that I must dwell. You and no other my heart and soul seek. But they are met with a wall dark and bleak. That is the way it goes If the door to your heart you don't close. False hope is what I had. Maybe, just maybe I would be glad. You felt it too, In the way that I do. From your eyes I could not tell, Was it love, or did something else compel, What I though might have been, But did not know. Now my heart On the ground, a plate shattered. You and me apart. None of it ever mattered, In the way I wanted. My heart, if only I could tell, spared from this fragmented fate. Forever will I be haunted, By what I lacked, said and did too late. To find some glue, That is all there is left to do. The pieces won't fit right, A memory of you, that gives me quite a fright.
