Lonely, Shattered Soul

You never wanted to se me cry,
No matter how hard I tried not to.
The tears ran from me, 
Like a waterfall.
You left me too soon, 
Left me sprawling for more.
Torn again at the heart,
It’s hell no matter how hard I fight.
Stone walls up, no one may enter now.
Yet, somehow you found a hole in my walls,
And made me feel safe.
You said you loved me,
Then tore me apart.
So I ask myself how I trusted you with my heart
Just so you could break it.
Tear it from my chest and let me die.
I guess that I will always be a lonely, shattered soul.
