The world came crashing down,
lead raindrops on my trembling hands,
no one else around could ever understand.

Down the pathways, I stumbled broken,
through the crowd, I made my way,
down to the river where I cried,
and all my tainted tears washed away.

Chest collapsed and heart compressed,
I fell to the cold soaking pavement,
never had I ever felt so much disappointment.

I held her heart, it was ethereal,
it was mine to have and mine to break,
and I made the worst mistake of my life,
when I dropped it on the ground.
