You Broke My Heart
My dreams have been shattered for I have no hope left
You’ve stolen my heart in this moment of theft
Patiently holding my heart up above
Without anticipation you throw it down with no love
There it lay splattered all over the ground
Then you step on it with rage, violent and profound
As I stare at you with dead eyes
All my feelings have gone numb
There are neither sounds nor cries
Only my dismay and glum
As I bend down to pick up the remains
I can only pick up so much and leave behind the stains
With the tiny fragments suspended by my hands
Like a puzzle with missing pieces no one understands
Confused and shocked as I slowly walk away
Softly spoken words come out with a delay
“Why did you hurt me?” “How can you dare?”
“I’ve always made sure that I was there…”
My pride was gone and nothing felt fine
I barely even remember crossing the line
You just snapped and lost all control
So you made me pay a pricey toll
I will now suffer for the rest of my years
While the distorted feelings for you are the cause for my tears
Leaving behind the fragments in place
I walk slouching with an empty face
I don’t want a heart so I can hurt again once more
So I leave it dead lying on the floor
