All she wanted was the embrace
Of an affectionate other
Anybody that was willing for the chase
To never again suffer
She waited for the day
When the sunset filled the background
Just for somebody to stay
That special heart pound
She died with a letter
Addressed to her lover
Who thought she deserved better
So he didn't bother
You are enough!

As the crowd gathers
for their final goodbyes
Wondering what they could have changed
Wondering what they should have done differently
thinking to themselves
Why did he think there was no one to turn to?
Why did he think he had no one?
Why did he think he had to go through it all alone?
but
Ask yourself where were you?
Where were you on those lonely nights?
How I cried at night waiting for someone to ask me if I'm okay,
To ask me if I needed to talk,
Just a shoulder to cry on.
Lay me to bed with a promise that you will never let go
But you never came, did you...
You never asked those questions
And left me to deal with it

So as the rain starts to drop
And the sky turns grey
Shed a single tear in my Honour,
And no more!
because you only deserve the one,
So close the casket, put me in the ground
let me sink into the blackness
Crying into eternity
For forevermore
Part 4

I lay in bed most nights
Hoping
you would hit up my phone and wonder
where I've been
and what I've been up to
But I know you never will
I know you don't really care
or at least that's what my overthinking alter ego tells me everyday
Not the way I do at the very least
Only message when I'm wanted
Taking my help for granted
Only message when you want something
Because what I want means nothing
Right
?
I've always been in your corner
Ready to assist
But when I'm in the ring
I box without a shadow
Memories are the only thing I've got going for me
My only link to reality
My only link to what we once were
Without them I wouldnt make it through most days
And I wish I could say the same for you
But I know you don't feel the same
So I get ready to drift away
The lonely dreamer
Who never really dreams
Part 2

Nurtured and Nourished
Memories made and forgotten
The love I lived for
And the hope that kept me going
Distant and vague concepts now
Like experiences of a previous life
creeping into the back of my mind
Holding on to whispers
slowly fading
Love that has been lost
Is a pain without comparison
Don't judge them for leaving
Let them down slowly
All that we went through
only to end up strangers...
Losing the love that was promised for eternity.

Heavy may be the head that wears the crown
but heavier is the heart which carries the burden of loving
unconditionally
The heart which always pumps more than it receives
bleeds faster than it heals
each pump shared with another
But another's heart is a one-way valve
After being broken so many times,
The pieces to the puzzle no longer fit where they are meant to
Still, each piece pumps little by little
To help the whole
Sharing my heart with another is dangerous
For the last one with such trust
Had me acting like a souvenir, a bust
So I share my duck-taped heart
And hope your words don't cut the tape
A heart's only supposed to have 4 parts
but mine was broken into millions
Glued each back together
with different parts in the wrong places
All so you couldn't break it the same way...
My first post on the site! Very excited to see what you all think :)
