My substitution
what do I do when I've lost my heart
because hell if someone is going to tell me it's in my chest
you're in every part of me
just not the place that once held my heart
my heart is elsewhere
perhaps in our last happy moment
that last moment we were whole, happy,  free
or maybe my heart has been lost way before you came
you noticed it before I did
as if I was always searching for something
I guess that's why I couldn't perceive your lies
living without a heart is easier than living without you
you were just a substitute that didn't fit right
this pain will pass
as will time
soon I'll learn to find my heart in other places:
a glimpse of it in flowers,
sunsets,
trees, nature,
true happiness
that's where I'll find my heart
I'll  finally feel whole without a human being acting as a substitute
for I am whole on my own

— The End —
