I spent too many nights waiting,
For you to finally be,
The person that I needed,
But you were never there for me.
I wasted countless hours,
Laying awake in the dark,
Savouring the words you spoke,
Holding onto every spark.
I wanted every moment,
To stay perfect in my mind,
And they did until the day,
You decided to leave me behind.
I picked up the pieces of my heart,
And with thread woven with blame,
I stitched it back together;
Since then it has not been the same.
Now it's covered in cracks and scars,
And I place the fault on you,
Occasionally it falls apart,
That's just what broken hearts do.
