Broken heart, by perf3ct Subscribe to rss feed for perf3ct

You broke my heart, 
You watched me pick up the pieces,
You broke it again.
I gave you my hope
I gave you my life, my dreams.
You watched them suffer,
You smothered them
And they died.
You consumed me in your darkness,
I drowned in your ignorance.
I watched as you walked away,
I waited forever, 
And embraced your return.
But in your eyes I see love,
In your heart I found what’s missing from mine,
And in your arms 
I feel safe, understood.
For the first time in so long,
I’m happy … with myself, with life.
For so long now I haven’t known myself,
I’ve known only you.
But who you are, I don’t know.
What seemed like forever has ended,
A moment frozen in time. 
A touch of heaven has locked me in hell.
I should hate you,
But I don’t.
I should leave you behind, move on.
But I can’t.
It’s hurts to remember, but I’m too scared to forget.
I need you now,
Now that you’re gone,
Although I’ll never admit it, I miss you.
My world has fallen apart,
I need your help to piece it together.
I want you, more than you know, 
My hearts cold now, I’m numb to you.
You can’t get through, you can’t break me.
As much as I need it, want it,
Nothing will be the same.
I can’t go back to knowing nothing, believing everything.
I want the innocents you stole from me.
I want my life back.
I want because when you let go of me, 
This time will be the last time, 
     And I’ll die inside again.

This is great! I had a relationship just like this, that made me feel dead. I totally relate with this poem.
