Crumble
By Katlyn Belliveau

I saw you today, I lost my breath.

My stomach turned inside out.

I had hopes of being together again.
But those hopes turned into doubt.

You were with another girl.

One much prettier then I.

I saw my whole world crumble.

Then I began to cry.

Every time I saw you today.

My heart shattered over and over again.

What crushed me the most, Was that we were so close.

And now you’re not even my friend.

You told someone I wasn’t the one.

Not the type of girl you’d want to be with.

What was going through your head,

When we shared our final kiss?

How could you be so cruel?
So coldhearted and blind.

I’m tired of holding back my tears.

In these eyes I hide behind.

You broke my heart, and stole one half.

The worst part is you gave half back.

Now I’m here with a broken heart. That even the kindest could not mend.

And it’s all because I had the nerve to trust and love again.

But look where that got me?

I’m nothing to you now.

And the way you just forgot me.

Please just tell me how.

How you could lie so perfectly. Straight to my face.

And how after only a month. Someone could take my place.

And when in the relationship did things go wrong?

And why did you hold this back for so long?

Do you have a heart? Were you scared of how I’d feel?

Was anything you said you felt ever even real?

Am I always going to wonder? How things may have been.

Will you give me answers? To the problems I had not seen?

Maybe I’m mistaken. But I did nothing wrong.

Too bad I was just your game. It’s a shame I played along.

Who knows maybe one day, I’ll finally be your friend.

And who knows maybe one day, I’ll learn to love again.

I was a damsel in distress.

A bar of soap caught in a mess.

A storm inside a cloud.

A silent voice screaming out loud.

I was Hansel and Gretel in the wood.

I was trying to find anyone I could.

I never thought I’d replace him

I had cried more then you’ll ever know.

But then you showed up on a fiery steed.

Since then you’ve never let me go.

You pulled me off the tracks, before the train could strike.

You pulled me from the mess, and left me feeling bright.

You pushed the sun into the cloud that left me feeling cold.

You turned my silent voice. Into a voice that was bold.

You put me on the trail, to get me where I was going.

You burned the witch who lured me in, without me ever knowing.

I found you.

You saved me when you told me you loved me.

I cried all that night.

Because I had finally won the fight.

I had finally found my hero. From whom every word was true

When you lose your first true love.

There are some steps you should take.

There are some changes you could make.

Your heart is not theirs to break.

Step one destroy all memories left behind

Step two erase their face from your mind

Step three forget all the happiness you felt

Step four forget the smile that made you melt

Step five pretend they didn’t exist

Step six forget the kiss you couldn’t resist

Step seven love someone new

Step eight forget what they put you through

Step nine forget the laughter and fun

Step ten remember they never were the one

Step eleven cut up the pictures the two of you took

Step twelve you’ll find someone new you just have to look

Step thirteen remember it was never meant to be

Step fourteen remember you never would have lasted happily

Step fifteen walk away and never look back

Step sixteen think of what you have, not what you lack

Step seventeen remember they aren’t there anymore

Step eighteen remember things will never be like before

Step nineteen never again cry

Step twenty it’s time to say goodbye.

So these steps don’t seem easy? That’s because they’re not.

It’s the good not the bad that you wish you’d forgot.

That’s because you love them, No matter what you do.

Because the memories of them will live on through you.
