You told me you wanted me!
You told me you loved me!
You told me you needed me!

How could this be something I was never able to see?
Thought you were my only the day you said yes as I got down on bended knee!
Guess you chose instead to run free!

Now all I’m left with is the broken pieces of who I wanted to be!
Guess a life with you and I was just something you could no longer foresee!
You fooled my heart you should be an Oscar nominee!

My heart always beats for you but my mind you continue to haunt!
I became a heart that nobody could ever want!
You go around acting all nonchalant!

The broken pieces of me I can’t seem to pick up!
In need of soul searching to fill my empty cup!
Afraid to let my heart feel again like a newborn baby pup!

I’m a lost cause waiting to be found!
To you is my heart bound?
Is it worth it to stand on this shaky ground?

Made me almost give up feeling as if nobody even wanted me around!
Maybe I’ll just go away silently into the darkest night without so much as a sound!
I feel all those darkest thoughts flooding back in making me feel as if I’ve already drowned!

You’ve become the champion of broken hearts so now’s your time to be crowned!
Every demon I had now back in my mind and around me they surround!
Your destruction of my fragile heart and mind has already put me mentally six feet in the ground!

In my head I’ve done been dead and buried!
On my sleeve my heart I’ve always carried!
My feelings are often varied!

This heart and mind doesn’t always want to mend!
So done always trying to always pretend!
Into this madness will I finally descend?

Every word carefully trying to poetically be penned!
Some people they can never comprehend!
With each word I hope not to offend!

Reality and what’s in my head begins to blend!
Negative thoughts not meant to intend!
An ear for me can someone please lend?

In my head everything I’m ready to end!
These thoughts taking over I cannot defend!
We all always need that certain friend!

Tell us we’re good enough these positive thoughts we should all send!
Instead all your words and actions they condescend!
Tired of being told everything is better just around this proverbial bend!

A life at a crossroads this impasse!
Why is your every word so crass?
A heart and mind with every word said you harass!

Not always greener on the other side is that grass!
Guess I’ll never be anything remotely special this sinking feeling I just cannot ever surpass!
When you look for me you can find my heart and mind among the broken glass!
