The Night You Left

you took my heart on that night you left,
you took my heart and you took my breath,
you took it all,  when you walked away,
and i knew you was gone, and gone to stay,
you bought so much pain, such pain to my heart,
now why cant we just go back,
just back to the start,
i feel betrayed that you left with my love,
now all i can do, is pray to the lord above,
dont come back, when you think its fine,
as i dont want to break your heart,  just like you broke mine

The thing is they didn't leave with love, they threw it back to you, so you can heal and find someone worthy to give it too...reminds me of that old Jimmy Ruffin song ...'what becomes of the brokenhearted...loved this poem and am enjoying reading your poetry...going to read more thanks...Allie
