Words From My Soul

Without You

Everything you did made me smile.

I was happy for the first time in a long time.

I felt a warmth in my heart,

That spread throughout my very being.

The only catch was that I wasn't the only one.

Everything falls apart when I see you hold hands.

Now every love song about you,

Doubles as a breakup song too,

Because I still love you even though I left you.

I was used by you, but I fell in love,

While you played me like a card,

In the middle of your game.

You wore a poker face,

And made me guess your next move.

Breaking, falling, I tore myself apart,

Just to speak to you.

Now I hold my head high as I disregard you.

I left you alone cause you couldn't move on,

I sing every empowering song as a reminder.

A reminder of the pain you caused,

And the chains I broke when I turned my back.

I walk with pride showing off the burns,

From the toxic love, you fed me.

Confidence rolls off of me,

As I continue on without you.
