Because of you
I understand what a broken heart feels like.  
Mine
Shattered
The moment you walked out of my door,
My life,
My arms,
But not my heart.  

I still love you.
I love your smile,
The way your eyes used to light up
When I walked into a room,
And how you held me
When I cried.

And I miss you.
I miss the feeling
Of your hand in mine,
Those perfect goodnight kisses,
And the sound of your voice
When you said my name.

But you,
You love her.

And so I try
To hold together
The pieces of my broken heart,
And I try to stop the flow
Of a million tears down my cheeks,
But I can't keep it together anymore.  
I can't keep this plastic smile on my face
While my world crashes down around me.

I love you
With the kind of crazy love
That I used to believe
Only existed in fairy tales,
But you left me here,
Wasting away in a tower room
Without even the hope
That a prince will ride by
And rescue me,
Because the only one
With the key
That unlocks these walls around my heart
Is you.

So I lie on the floor,
Wishing
That I was enough for you,
But I guess I'm not.
Not anymore.  

There was a time
When you swore
That you would never leave me,
But that day is long gone.  

The final notes of our spinning,
Ballroom dance
Have played out,
And I'm standing here,
In an empty room,
Alone.
