Tears of a Broken Heart
I have opened my soul and my heart to you
My mind has ingested every part of you
I have allowed you to feast upon my body
I have enjoyed you like you were my hobby
My love for you is unfortunately one-sided
This thing we have has me feeling slighted
It hurts that my feelings are not returned
And your lack of emotion has me feeling burned
When you don’t return my calls, it makes me feel the fool
Sitting by an unringing phone, the torture is cruel
When you say you’ll do something then you renege
It breaks my heart like it is some sort of fragile twig
To put my faith in you and all of it be in vain
Makes me bitter and consumed with disdain
I don’t want to hate you because you are a good man
You’re just not good for me and you can no longer be in my plan
I’m tired of crying these tears of sorrow
Because I yearn to have a happier tomorrow
These pain-induced tears that you have continuously caused
Has made me think and put my life on pause
Why do I always do this to myself….self-reflection
Allow the unworthy to have my heart…constant rejection
I’m tired of crying behind someone who doesn’t even want me
Wasting my emotions on something that wasn’t meant to be
I’m bleeding inside from the pain of a broken heart
But now, it’s past the time for us to finally depart
Maybe one day, you’ll open up yourself to love me
Maybe one day, you’ll open your eyes to finally see
That the love I possessed for you was real and true
But by the time you realize this, it’ll be too late for you.
