My heart is torn, it bleeds for you,
For I know where your footsteps lead,
To someone else, while I wait here,
A shattered soul, a silent plead.
I loved you still, with every breath,
But you’re with her, I feel the sting,
Like threads that pull me piece by piece,
Each memory now a cruel thing.
I watch from far, though close in pain,
As you laugh and love with someone new,
And I am left in empty nights,
A shell of what I was with you.
I ache for words we’ll never speak,
For stolen looks that now seem fake,
Yet still, I hold your ghost in me,
Though loving you is my mistake.
So rip me down, and tear my soul,
For even then I’d long for you,
Though love has turned to aching bones,
I’d break apart to feel you too.
