Broke My Heart

I gave you the key to my fragile chest

You walked right in like an honored guest

But the floor gave way

Now I’m falling fast

Nothing gold

Nothing gold ever seems to last

You held my world

You let it slip

Took my steady ground

Made it trip

You broke my heart

You tore it apart

Like a masterpiece burned in the dark

You broke my heart

Left me in shards

Now I’m sweeping the pieces of who we are

The echoes of us

They haunt the walls

Your laughter fades but the silence calls

I keep replaying the same old scene

Your words like daggers

Sharp and mean

You were the flame

I was the moth

Now I’m ashes

Now I’m lost

You broke my heart

You tore it apart

Like a canvas slashed in the park

You broke my heart

Left me in shards

Now I’m sweeping the pieces of who we are
