                                                      Toni Braxton
Three hours later, I got home and changed into a pair of grey sweatpants and one of Kenny's shirts that he left here a while ago. I sat on my couch and just smelled the shirt, I loved it because it smelled exactly like him. Deep in thought, I began to think about what happened to Kenny and I and why he left. I pictured Kevon kissing me and me immediately pulling away. I then thought about what Kenny said when he found out and confronted me about it and it was like I can hear his voice all over again, the anger, the betrayal...the pain😞💔. As tears began to fill my eyes, all I could do was grip his shirt and wish for him to be back in my arms again. She then started imagining his kiss, his hugs, his big brown eyes, his memorizing smile and most of all his sensational voice when he sang. Toni's body and mind was flushed in her want for Kenny.

I decided to go into the booth because singing always makes me happy and calms me down. She pressed the record button, dimmed the lights down really low, placed the headphones on, and began to sing the most depressing song she has ever written.

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry this tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on....

Toni slowly stepped out of the booth with her face drenched in tears. She didn't know if Kenny still loved her or not, but she did know that her love for him would never fade.

I don't know what it is that has me so hooked on Toni. She cheated on me and I'm the one that's hurting... All I could think is did she ever really love me? Or was it all just a big charade to get to my brother?
