It was a mistake to push you aside,
I’ll never understand why I lied.

My heart said yes, but my head said no.
Like with you, I pushed my heart aside and let it go.

Broken.

You learned to move on and I became passé.
With your heart in fate’s hands, it led the way.

I tried to do the same and carry along,
but my heart proved not strong.

Alas, my head was ready to say yes,
it was time for me to profess.

I said: I want to love you well.
You said: I’m seeing someone now.

Broken.

Though I said okay and appeared brave,
inside the pain was grave.

Believing we were meant to be,
I waited for you to be free.

Once again, I expressed what I was feeling,
this time, the blow caused internal bleeding.

Broken.

You said: I’m meeting new people and dating.
And I began to realize I was fading.

Broken.

Last night, I dreamt of happy life of us forever,
and awoke to realize we are not together.

Broken.

You continue to move down the path you’ve chosen,
Meanwhile, I remain here...eternally – heart…Broken.
