Broken

Reaction to deceit and hurt caused by a lover

Here I lie, on the floor
letters and flowers scattered
what we had is no more
not like what we had even mattered

I look up at the ceiling
closing my eyes
for I don't want anyone to see what I'm feeling
I need to hide behind certain lies

Here I lie, forever broken
I don't think I could ever mend
for my heart, it was stolen
and my dreams were all pretend

I tried so hard to be the best
I loved the way only I could love
guess it wasn't good enough to beat the rest
I guess it just wasn't enough

Here I lie, tears sliding
the world hidden behind a clouded sheet
my soul, my heart, hiding
remaining hidden from everyone I'll ever meet

Here I lie, broken
my heart has been marred
My love, a meaningless token
has been forever charred
