You left
I feel him slipping away,going someplace I have no knowledge of.
Why do the dreams get shattered so easily,
why does the pain happen so often.
My heart, I left it at his feet,
I have nobody else to see me through.
I loved him and broke all relationships,
except the one that made my heart his.
I had forsaken everybody else,
apart from him whose each word blew me apart.
Harsh words I heard,
no pity in his voice and eyes.
He slashed me in half with the brutality of his words,
never caring that I was falling apart,
right before his eyes,
my heart bleeding the last drops that were left.
I wanted to run to him so desperately
and maybe plead to him,
not to be so hard to my heart,
not to hurt it so much after it has been torn apart.
Yet the words he uttered made my heartbeat stutter,
a feeling of utmost despair gripping me.
Where should I go if you no longer wish to keep me in your heart?
What should I do for you to believe my words,
where do I go from here?
I have fought and left everybody else,
for the sake of my feelings for you.
How would I have guessed that for you I meant nothing,
only a momentary distraction,
a burden to be discarded as soon as you could,
my words ringing hollow and your decision cold.
Why did I ever think that you would be different,
keeping my faith alive forever,
and the light of hope in my heart shining.
I have no life left in my body to fight anymore.
When you left, you took away all that belonged to me,
throwing me away, naked and burning.
