The Broken Heart





Once upon a time, I fell in love,

It was like some gift from above,

I loved her with all my heart,

I prayed we'd never be apart,

Those were the days when all was well,

But recently, I've lived in Hell.

She said she loved me, and I believed,

But now for some reason, I feel deceived.

I would kill for those beginning days,

The last two weeks... a blurring haze...

I thought I was special, but no, not quite,

We used to talk for hours each night,

The last time she called me, I can't remember,

It feels like somehow my heart has been dismembered.

I should have known, it wouldn't work,

She's too good for a disrespectful jerk,

I'd go out of my way to help her out,

I'd give anything to not see her pout.

When she was depressed, I'd give her my soul,

But now it seems, I can't pay her toll.

She said she loved me, that's what she said,

But here I lay, crying in bed.

Gazing at my father's gun, a simple nine,

But good enough to ease my mind,

To end this misery, to stop this pain,

Meet my maker, I've played this game.

Had enough for a little while,

Without me, maybe now she'll smile,

I still love her, but I give up,

I feel so lonely, like a lost little pup.

No where to go, nothing to do;

Except squeeze the trigger, it'll pull me through.
