It wasn't just my confidence or heart
That you broke this time round -
My hope and only lifeline
Fell in pieces to the ground.
I could have pieced it together,
But that takes time and care
I silently screamed for help
But you were never there.
So instead I took a blade,
And I bled away the pain
'Til I was numb to emotions
And could face the world again.
Then I taped the wound,
'Til there was nothing left to show
I pasted on a smile,
And you would never know...
