Did you think that I wouldn't get hurt?

Brush me off and pretend that I didn't love you.

We were together for two years,

Why wouldn't it bother me when you act like you don't care?

I am a stranger, someone who knew you the best.

Who only got to see your worst.

I held your hand and heart,

Cradled in my arms, since they were my most important things.

The precious thing I had in this world.

I tried to protect you from your insecurities.

Shield you away in my heart

Protected inside my rib cage.

Loneliness was a thing of the past when you had me.

But you left me all alone.

Ditched me when I needed you.

Aching in my chest without your warmth.

I guess all along you were the savior,

Yet you cut ties with me.

Cut my heart strings along with it.

"It just isn't working," you mumbled.

"You were someone I once knew."

And you stepped away,

My heart died.
