Through my shattered heart I still breathe

Tears laced with pain

Sink into scars
The ones you left me with after you left
Into a world where neither of us could safely tread
You doubted my love for you
Your heart beated with wounds I never made
You left me

Why…

Why couldn’t you see?
That I’m not like those girls
That I don’t care what scars you hold...
That I was honored you loved me
That you graced me with your love…

But like them you played me...
You gave me my own scars to hold
With your poisoned lips you whispered
Words that were tainted
I love you…

You disillusioned me
But I refuse to wilt
I still love you my love
Where ever you are

Eternally

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.
