You were my one and only
My ride or die
But you left me lonely
And I cried

For months I loved you still
No matter how hard I tried
I was fighting a battle uphill
But my energy is fried

I know you left me
And to me you said
"I am setting you free"
In separate ways we now head

And every step of the way
I will bow my head and pray.

Without you, I am broken
And I need you here
You were my prized token
Losing you was my greatest fear

I always put you first
Yet, you were my undoing
For you I felt unrequited thirst
And the feeling kept brewing

At first, it was the little things
Your jokes, your laugh, your smile
Nothing but happiness did you bring
At least, for a little while

You were my first broken heart
And my final work of art
