Fractured Hearts

I left your cup beside the sink Like you might come back

for it

You said be strong,

then shut the door I kept my coat on,

pacing the floor

Every room knows what I lost Every clock keeps naming the cost

I try to sleep,

but mornings bruise

I wake up reaching for old news

I kept the reasons in a drawer But they keep falling on

the floor

If love was real,

why does it leave This much of me

unable to breathe

This is the damage after goodbye

I smile in public,

fall apart inside

You took the future out of my hands Now I am learning

how to stand This is the damage,

slow and true

I am still me,

even without you

Your number sits there under glass A little museum of the past

Friends say time will do its part They do not hear the

house go dark I fold your shirt and lose my nerve

Some goodbyes keep every curve

This is the damage after goodbye

I smile in public,

fall apart inside

You took the future out of my hands Now I am learning

how to stand This is the damage,

slow and true I am still me,

even without you

I will not beg the door to open

I will not call it fate

I can be broken for

a season

And still not break

This is the damage after goodbye

I smile in public,

fall apart inside

You took the future out of my hands Now I am learning

how to stand I

am still me,

even without you

Even without you

I am still me
