You Tore My Heart to Pieces (The Whole Story)

By l mo

I'm sitting in a room
Huddled in the corner
Crying my eyes out

My heart aches with pain
You out it there
You said it
You said those few simple words

I'm drawing a blank
I'm still under shock
And all I can think
I can't help but think:

Those hurtful words
You left me with
Cut deep
Will scar for life

You were my life
My soul
My joy
Then my whole world
Came crashing down on me

The scene replays itself in my head
Like a movie, sad and true
Over and over again
Never leaving for a second

A dark street
Two figures
Walking steadily
Then they stop

Turning toward each other slowly
She leans in
He back away

She hesitates
Expression hurt
Confused inside
Not understanding

He explains
Wasn't hard to say
He already had
Another lover

She tries to hold
Her tears inside
She's not the one
That's known to cry

She couldn't believe
The words he said
The most hurtful thing
That could reach one's ears

She loved him unconditionally
But he didn't feel the same
The words he left her with cut deep
Like the blade across her arm

The words he uttered
Destroyed her soul
Those words
That hurt so bad

"It's over.
I don't love you.
I never had and never will."

I can't think about it anymore
It's getting to be unbearable
So I focus on my knife
Swift and slick across my arm

It takes a few more swipes
For realization to dawn on me
This is what he wanted
For me to cut myself over him

I wish I could say
That I don't love him
I don't need him
I'm glad he finally left...
But then I'd be lying to myself.

You tore me apart
Piece by piece
Cut me up
Ripped me apart
Left me to suffer
On my own.

You tore my heart to pieces when you said you didn't love me.
Even more so when you kissed her, where everyone could see.
