Your empty promises filled the room with an ear piercing silence
So quiet, you could almost hear my shattered hopes hit the floor.

“When I held you and your son, I felt like I was holding my family....”
Words you knew would draw me in even more.

Why, then, was it so easy to just give up?
I let you in completely, gave you everything.
I had nothing left from my heart to pour.

“Drums and making money” speaking of your priorities.
Words that solidified that I didn’t make the cut,
Words that shook me to my core.

Maybe I gave you too much, made it too easy.
Not enough conflict,
I guess to you, I was a bore.

I let you in and you let me go,
The lessons from this I will never forget but you know what they say,
“All is fair in love and war.”

And all is well with my broken heart.
All you have proven is that there is better out there for me,
So much for my life left in store.

So just like all the others before,
I will pick myself up and move on.
“I would love to still be friends..”
Except you don’t deserve me,
And I hope it hits you hard one day,
  Knowing you walked out my door.
