I cried 'til challenged with laboured breathing
After you hung up the phone.
The hole you just ripped in my chest,
More jagged and deeper than ever before.

The way you casual said " not that you'll even care "
Left an emptiness I can't describe.
You knew how I felt, I made sure
Every day to love you more than the last.

The tears streamed from my eyes -
Yet truly from my soul when I realised
You had halved a whole.

" Look I've met someone else "
Is all you said, over the phone.
Is that all I was worth,
Five measly words and a broken heart?
