Broken

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.
