why are you acting differently as if
i broke your heart
why are you making it look like
i'm the one to suggested that
we take some time apart?

you loved to shift the blame and play your little silly games
i should've seen this coming
that's just like any boy, you too would start running

you told me that i was your anchor,
that i kept you grounded
and whenever you were alone
my love always made you feel you surrounded

but then i failed to see that
i was sinking and drowning
in a pool of my own blood
from the scars you caused when you told me i wasn't the one

it's almost a year since tore me apart
on that one minute call when you broke my heart
we'd been fighting for hours
i thought you'd be above break-up texts, but you deigned to be a coward

now i'm with somebody new and
i see that you are too
but it's hard to move on when
all our memories are distorted;
my brain shielded all the memories where you were sordid  

i know you can't undo all you've done to me
but imagine if there was a possibility
would you take the chance to make things right
or would you act like it never happened until karma takes her bite?
the guy spoken about broke up with the speaker, after a seven month relationship, over the phone. it was a call that lasted barely just a little over a minute & it broke her heart because she realized she may not have meant that much to him.

it was a couple minutes after six,
when you broke up with me,
said we're too damaged to be fixed
the problem was with you,
and not with me

days passed and i kept to myself
i couldn't say a word
too afraid to break down before you and lose my worth
cause how could i cry over a boy?
when it's expected for them to treat you like a toy

i told you it's fine, that I'll be okay
i told you that i understand
but no matter what ihad to say,
you always had the upper hand

before i knew it, it was too late
i couldn't hold on to lost memories anymore
because you want to be set free
so i had to learn to let you go
