I could feel the warmth of your breath
As your body leaned close to mine
You whispered three words in my ear
That I no longer wanted to hearI. Am. Sorry.
Your eyes were filled with tears
While you tightly held my hand
Your words repeated inside my head
Like an echo in a wishing well
Yet I still didn't know what to do
I was still terrified and confused
But after some time
My heart decided what it wanted
And that was to forgive you once again
I thought you would change
But in the end, I was wrong again
As you stabbed my heart
Again and again
My heart's now numb to receive any pain
Because a heart that always understands
Believes
And forgives
Gets broken too sometimes
So now, I don't know
If my heart will ever heal again
