Sidewalk of Glass

I always loved you.

From the second we met.

I didn't think I would get carried away.

We were perfect.

You let someone else in.

You tored my heart up.

A few months later, we had a thing.

We were together,

Through our rough time.

We made it through.

But you gave up.

You threw it away.

You stopped being there for me.

One day, I got my courage

I spoke to you again

You were thrilled.

I had lost my turtle shell.

You brought me to life again.

I was estactic.

Valentine's day comes around,

I get nothing.

My love for you was enough.

But you had another girl in mind.

So I let you go for her.

But you apparently did not understand

That on the inside

I was dying.

My heart was crippled.

You pulled me down a sidewalk

A sidewalk of glass

Cuts and bruises covered my body.

Tears escaped my eyes.

But I was still there for you.

I never left your side.

When we got to the paradise I thought we had

You took a knife to my heart

You ripped my heart and soul out

My heart ran away.

Lost in the cold rain.

No one searched for it.

Not even I.

I didn't care.

I loved you.

You threw us away like a piece of trash that you finished.

I wanted to run away

Inside though

I knew I wouldn't be able to

I wanted to live

You were the air that I needed to breathe.

I clinged to you.

I watched you smile and you wanted me there

I thought you cared for me

But you didn't.

You just wanted a new thrill.

You didn't want me.

I see that now.

The deep fog that was clouding up my eyes

Became clear.

You were using me.

You played the strings that belonged to my heart.
