Picking Up Pieces

I gave you my heart,

I gave you my trust,

I thought what we had would

never turn to dust.

I stayed when it hurt,

I stayed when you lied,

But every “I love you”

slowly made me cry.

I tried to hold on,

But you let me fall.

I was giving you everything,

You gave me nothing

at all.

You broke my heart,

Then walked away.

You left me crying At the end of the day.

I loved you more

Than I loved myself,

Now I’m picking up pieces You left on the shelf.

You broke my heart,

But I’m still here—

Learning to live

Without you near.

I still hear your voice

when the room is quiet,

I still see your face

when I close my eyes.

I wish I could hate you,

But I don’t know how,

Because some part of me

Still loves you

somehow.

Maybe one day I’ll stop asking why,

Maybe one day I won’t want to cry.

And when I look back at all we were,

I’ll finally know I deserved much more.

You broke my heart,

But I won’t break too.

I lost myself While I was loving you.

The tears may fall,

But I’ll make it through.

I’m learning to love me The way I loved you.

You broke my heart… But you didn’t end my story.

I’ll find my light,

And I’ll find my glory.
