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.
