You brought back to life the pieces of my heart I thought the world had killed

Sometimes it takes losing something we love
To see all the love that surrounds us

No
His eyes weren't dark
And he didn't smoke cigarettes
He wasn't mysterious and stormy
He lacked charm and the ability of smooth talking

But he loved me
God, he loved me
And one day
He realized he didn't

And I will write about that for the rest of my life

They asked me when I knew it was over

*"The day I stopped being able to sleep when he was laying next me."

As I took his face in my hands
Tears streaming down his cheeks
My raw heart out of my chest
I told him,
"Heartbreak is the worst pain someone can experience. But your heart is strong enough to get through it."

And if all we were
All the pain you caused
Was for that moment
Just one brief second where I was able to give someone peace in midst of tragedy
Then losing you all makes sense
And I wouldn't think twice about going through it again

They all knew she was strong
But none of them could really fathom all the strength that had been required of her
To survive what she had
