The Break Up

A break up can do alot of things
prepare you for better things to come
leave you feeling down
heal you from wounds of hurt
or help you to be more alert

You knew it would last forever
thought it would never wither,
crumble, but prosper
then all of a sudden out of nowhere
you felt like a stranger

You reminisced on the nights when he held you close
the sweet kisses, that you would always boast
not one night was your bed ever cold
you always had that warmth, he was yours to hold

How could a love so strong ever die
you thought you were really on a high
but little did you know
that something was going down pretty quickly though

When that dreadful day came
you never felt the same
you sat down in a corner
as if your whole world was over

He said he'd never leave
he said you'd be forever
he swore that you were the only one
but i guess the lies knew better

But how do i move on
how do i walk away
with all this hurt and pain
all these everlasting memories

So many unanswered questions
so many unfinished thoughts
my mind...filled with pieces to a puzzle
i'm tryin, i'm trying but i just can't remove the nozzle

The breakup reminded me of my childhood
when my best toy got lost or stolen
the only thing left to do really
is either get a new toy
or continue to cry and cry over the lost boy
