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
