It seemed like once, a while ago,
two separate halves could be whole.
That time has passed, but moments ago
and a then hot fire now burns cold.

I find myself alone yet again
gathering my heart piece by piece.
From the ashes of an overwhelming love
that I once thought would never cease.

Yet here again alone I stand
begging just once to be heard.
I know you no longer care for me
But I still need you to hear these words.

The careless and wreckless abandon
with which you smashed my heart.
Will not and cannot be forgotten.
While these words may just be the start.

You embodied all that I wanted,
All I'd ever dreamt to be my own.
And you gave me yourself repeatedly
With a passion I'd yet not known.

Then with but only one moment
you ripped all of it away.
You said that you had warned me
so you had no obligation to stay.

So here you find me standing
and you seem, but slightly confused.
At my wounded shaken retorting
as though I maybe feel a bit used.

You led with nothing but honesty
And I cannot fault you for this
yet your actions betrayed your words
as you endured those months of bliss.

and in the end, for you to panic
and disappear with nothing to say
leaving me, who did naught but love you
to wrestle with whom to blame

So I will gather up my broken heart
from the shattered pile it's in
and use what little tape I have left
to put it back together again

I want nothing more than to forget you
to move onward and upward and such
but my heart won't let my forget you
It just seems to like you too much
