We were fading out
From red to pink to white
I just didn't feel the butterflies anymore
I felt the tears in my eyes
Flowing in definite streams
Breath shaking
As I said goodbye
You hid behind a shield
That I pierced straight through to your heart
Your long hair hid the tears
As they fell
Smearing your shirt
You spoke our final words
"Goodbye, but I still love you."
Those syllables
Tore my chest open
And ripped my heart from it
He never spoke to me again,
But I still remember that day
And those words
And the heart abuse.
