Broken

Tears of blood fall from my broken heart

I never thought we would be apart

When you held me, you said “forever.”

Now that you’re gone, I know you meant “never.”

Saying you love me with that look in your eye

And that was a cold-hearted lie

Your tender touch, a soft kiss

Two things about you I will miss

As I sit here thinking about you

My face is wet with tears past due

I should’ve cried a long time ago

But I loved you so

I know they say love is blind

But I had only you on my mind

A hurt so deep it cuts like a knife

But wounds heal and I’ll go on with my life
