A decade passed, or two. I knew My heart stopped counting when we met. It broke my heart, how much I loved To use you, to help me to forget. You banished me, inexplicably, To a corner of your heavy, weary soul. It broke my heart, how sure I felt You used me to mend the parts she stole. We strained like wolves, in a tug of war; You promised you would never let me fall. It broke my heart, when I opened my eyes And found you were never there at all.
