Only a Memory

Shattered pledges and broken wings Is all that you left me Jagged edges and stolen dreams Is all that I'll ever be When you came into my world I thought you'd leave a light on Instead I woke up to the darkness Stumbling looking for a switch To turn you back on Over night you stopped loving me It wasn't slow, it wasn't fast It was just over I should've known beauty never lasts Shattered pledges and broken wings Is all that you left me Jagged edges and stolen dreams Is all that I'll ever be When the dust cleared After the storm Clear skies let me see the truth The one I thought was real Was just a figment of my imagination The you I knew never existed I'll always have the scars you left The memories will fade And I'll be left with nothing But a hope to move on from devastation Shattered pledges and broken wings Is all I thought you left me Jagged edges and stolen dreams Is all I thought I'd ever be But now I'm done I'm putting one foot in front of the other Shattered pledges Now I'm moving on Jagged edges Broken wings Stolen dreams It's all only a memory

A stunning write. It reads like a lyric--so beautifully executed poem, Jessica.
