You broke my heart
That morning you said
You won't let anyone
Hurt me.
You didn't understand
That it is you
Who's poised to abandon
Me; and shatter my heart
With a simple goodbye
While you go your own
Way to marry another.
"You're not a lady,"
You told me
When I gave you my all.
You promised me nothing
And yet I still gave you
My bruised soul.
And then you smiled.
Your one-sided smile
Which brought thrill
To my being.
And I touched your face,
Memorizing it.
Making sure I remember
The face—
The handsome face
Of my feckless warrior.
My guardian.
The keeper of my heart
Who wanted nothing of me
Except the kind of surrender
That others pay for.
I have no dignity.
I have no sanity left.
And in a few days,
You'll also take my squandered
Soul to nothingness.
As you say "I do"
To another
And make me see
The life you will build together.
While I keep my broken,
Scattered heart hidden.
To let you be respectable.
More fool me.
I loved you so dearly--
I--
I--
I hope you die!
