Meant to be

I guess we were never meant to be,
Maybe we were too similar,
Or maybe we were too different,
Either way you ruined me and left me for the wolves.

Because the moment you stopped loving me,
I became irreparably broken;
Maybe it was all in my head,
Just another lost dream.

I poured my heart out to you,
I let my soul bleed out dry,
I gave you my soul and my words,
All of my happy poetry.

And I wish there was another word for happy,
Buoyant doesn't feel the same,
Maybe it's the simplicity,
The raw, truthfulness that makes it addictive.

You shattered my heart,
Each shard of brittle glass a little piece of me,
That I'll never get back,
And here I'll wait for you to come back and love me.

My poetry ripped to shreds,
All the words on the sun, stars and flowers ruined,
Forever destroyed,
And I'll remain bruised with the remnants of your love forever.

Yet I still love you.
