True Love
He broke my heart today.
Today is the day he let me walk away.
What else is there to say?
He put our love to rest this day.
I offered him my trust, he threw it away.
It hurts me to know it has to end this way.
I fell for him at the drop of a dime.
I found myself fond of him in so little time.
Thought he was the one I had been waiting for.
My professions of love he would always ignore.
From me, he only wanted friendship and sadly nothing more.
It killed me to know this, for ‘tis him I adore.
This pang in my chest it has grown terribly sore.
How could he pain me, the love I long for?
Each night I lay awake with a heavy sigh.
Fight it as much as I might, eventually it is lonely tears that I cry.
Lord sometimes I swear it makes me want to die.
Wish someone could tell me why, it’s become so hard to say goodbye.
I’m not the one he wants, and I don’t know why.
I want so badly to make him see, with me is where he’s supposed to be.
How can anyone be so blind?
His rejection has tied my heart in a bind.
True love has never been this hard to find.
