Truth

Your heart said goodbye to me
It told me you were done

It said prepare yourself
For the ending has now begun

My insides collapsed, crying wait! I'm not ready
I'm not ready to be done

But your eyes said Lindsey there's nothing here for you
We told you, you aren't the one

I wrapped my arms around you, begging to feel safe, 
But your body said let go, I no long offer a warm embrace

I touched your chest and I touched your hand
Hoping to feel something, anything and maybe understand

But you looked at me and offered silence and emotional proof

That here's nothing left to question and it's time I face the truth

You're heart said goodbye to me
It told me you were done
