My Heart Speaks

I heard you described me as gold
I heard you beautified me 
I heard you boasted about me
I heard you final declared your love towards me

Is it because you just realized that i am gone
That I am finally someone's galaxy
That I now reign in someone's heart
That I now have a kingdom to rule

Is it because my beauty has enhanced
That I now dress golden garments
That i wear a smile worth more than your pockets
That my body is perfumed expensively
That i no longer walk on common ground

Is it because i own the little mines you opened
Is it because my face is on the coin you have
Is it because she decorated your kitchen with my face

Is it because your memories are bitter
Is it because you want to reverse time
Is it because i did not fall when you pushed me down
Is it because you failed to love me

I heard you praised me
I heard you bought me a flower
I heard you prayed for my return
I heard you told them I loved you

The honest you did not tell them is
How you brutally hurt me
How you murdered my love
How you buried my heart
How you pushed me aside
And how you hid me with bruises

I heard you wrote me a note
But now I am gone
