Your name was always the only name I knew.

Your eyes were the only ones that kept me mesmerized.

Your words I always thought were true.

Your hands were the only ones I’d memorized.

Your voice was the only one I recognized.

But your words cut me like a blade

And left me bleeding inside.

I grew tired of your charade

And I grew tired of the way you lied.

You made me swallow my pride.

I picked up all the broken pieces,

And I glued them back together.

But even though

I seem whole,

I will always be broken by you forever.
