Broken Pieces of a Lost Love

Silent nights, haunted by the past

Ghosts of love that didn't last

Looking at the pieces, trying to mend

A broken life, where love used to end

2016, sitting here alone

With my phone and a heart of stone

Snapshots of a life I'd call my own

Now just memories, cold as bone

She said she loved me, then walked away

Fading smiles in a fake display

Her manipulation, her cruel game

Left me with scars, carved in shame

How do you move on, when you're lost inside?

When your soul is broken, and your hope has died?

Picking up the pieces, trying to find the light

In a love that was a shadow, in the dead of night

Photos of a wedding, smiles so fake

A fantasy built on a fragile ache

She wanted everything, on a silver tray

While I fell apart day by day

Dealing with PTSD, a silent scream

Lost my sense of self, can’t find my dream

Deleting memories, trying to forget

But her ghost still lingers, with every regret

How do you move on, when you're lost inside?

When your soul is broken, and your hope has died?

Picking up the pieces, trying to find the light

In a love that was a shadow, in the dead of night

All I wanted was a true new start

But broken hearts tear us apart

Can I survive this darkened sea?

Find a way to be free

Just want to drown the pain away

Forget her smile, forget the day

In the silence, I will try

To find myself and learn to fly
