Broken Heart

He made a promise to me two years ago,
That he would never leave me, never let go.
How was I to know that it was all a lie,
A lie that would one day make me weep & cry?

He never gave me a warning, never a sign,
He always used to smile at me & say, “You’re mine.”
But how was I to know that it was all a lie,
A vicious lie that would one day make me cry?

We have now grown so far apart,
And I’m still mending my broken heart.
He’s ripped me to shreds for the world to see
The injustice that he has done to me.

Day by day my heart reforms,
And I recover from these dark storms.
But still my heart has one big scar,
Left by the man who will never go far.
