You Break My Heart Into a Thousand Pieces

In these times of darkness, I am struggling to find a light Everything I once had, dissolved before me through the night. Words seem so trivial, when in this moment I want to speak, But would you listen anyway if my thoughts were yours to keep? Never did I think that you would react the way you did, Never did I think that I was worthless in your eyes, Never did I think you could give up on me like this, Never did I think you were so cold and unfeeling. I poured out my heart in the only way I could, But instead of embracing me you siphoned my blood. Driving a knife through my chest, I’ve never felt such pain, Now cut out from your life, here I am alone again. Punishing me for telling the truth, Punishing me for loving you, Punishing me for what I cannot control, Punishing me- I thought you would never do. You are breaking my heart, I feel at a loss, Not having you in my life, I feel so empty. Heartless and horrific, there’s nothing left to say, So now I’ll let you go, but maybe I’ll love you another day...
