Broken Inside

by ephemera   Jan 26, 2007


I smile to let you know I am okay
But the truth is I'm not,
Each day I pause to remember what we were
And I'm afraid you've forgot.
What happened to your promise
Your vow to never forsake me?
Have I been pushed into a dark corridor of your mind
Or have I faded from your memory?

You wonder why I am so bitter
Where the emotions come from that I feel,
Have you ever been in love only to learn
The whole time it was not real?
For you have moved on and away
From the ordinary that because nothing to you,
To conquer the hearts of hopeful lovers
And to relish in the feeling of love anew.

I am not at all like you
I cannot capture another's heart,
For I am just an ordinary person
Still mending where you tore me apart.
If only you could know my pain
It would be the only thing we shared,
For I was fated to fall for you
Someone who never cared.
