I sit here in a daze
Over the words you have spoken
I thought it was just a faze
But I feel so very broken.
I never knew it would feel
As though my heart was made of lead
Everything I thought was real
Is gone, abandoned, dead.
You held my fragile dreams
I stupidly gave them away
You ripped them neatly, at the seams
And all the colours have turned to grey.
I know I ought to hate you
But I just can't, because I'm numb
I thought what we had was true
I can't believe I was so dumb.
Now the pain comes creeping
Snickering at my foolish grief
An old wound, reopened, seeping
And from my tears, there's no relief.
