A Poem About a Broken Heart - Broke Me Down
Broken Heart
I had a friend encourage me to write song lyrics a few months back - this is what I came up with. Please be gentle as this is new to me!!
It wasn’t like we had what we needed
It wasn’t like you gave me the moon on a string
You said you’d love me forever but you don’t
I said I’d be your promise girl but I’m not
You didn’t let me finish what I came for
You sent me away before I knew where I was
I suffered for the feeling we had together
You didn’t even notice my tears were for us
You sent me that letter in the mail
It came to say what you couldn’t tell
You broke me down built me up and down again
Crushing words and breaking hearts you'd pretend
Im mourning the morning we drifted apart
Following the path to the ocean where we met
Aside from the distance and waves crashing over
The seagulls were screaming and diving for cover
You held my hand until the wet sand broke away
I reached for you and grabbed only empty space
Gone with the sea salt and drifting loosely
You promised me love now all I have left is me
You sent me that letter in the mail
It came to say what you couldn’t tell
You broke me down built me up and down again
Crushing words and breaking hearts you'd pretend
You didn’t let me finish what I came for
You sent me away before I knew where I was
I suffered for the feeling we had together
You didn’t even notice my tears were for us
You promised me love now all I have left is me
You promised me love now all I have left is me
