I Still Love You

When my heart was shattered,

you gave it hope.

When I lost hope in love...

you gave me ambition.

When I lost ambition in life...

You gave me motivation.

When I lost everything,

you became my everything.

You gave me love, you gave me life.

You made me feel content, secure, relaxed.

You became my strength.

The reason for the warmth in my heart,

the reason for the smile on my face,

was you.

What I didn't perceive was that,

as well as becoming my strength,

you had become my weakness.

Why did I fail to see this?

Because now it's 2:42 am,

and these bitter tears run down my face,

as I fail to even explain, the feeling I have for you.

My weakness.

As you fixed my shattered heart, just to break it all over again.

You gave me hope, just to take it away all over again.

You gave me a lot of things, baby.

But you took them all away from me, just like that.

And now I'm left with nothing, once again.

Just a broken heart.

Just a broken heart, all over again.

But,

I still love you.

and,

I always will.
