Not How I Imagined

From heartbreak to endless love.

I want you to keep me safe in your arms

But the things you do feel like bullets sometimes

I loved you since what feels like forever

It hurts like hell, but I feel like I lost you

And all the years we had

But I guess nothing is ever how we see it

Everything breaks at some point and we say goodbye

I think I just need time to breathe

Time to be away from the world and sink into the floor

Like nothing else exists

I guess I should have seen the warning signs

But I… we lost sight of what we wanted

As I moved on I found love again

And you came back thinking it wouldn’t hurt anymore

After all this time, I force myself not to think about you

Getting over us was the hardest thing I had to do

I felt empty when you left me

I tried to shine and be bright but I was stopped in my tracks

The pain and hurt hit me so hard I could barely breathe anymore

Flashes went through my mind of all the things you did

As tears rolled down my face

I couldn’t help but feel like I didn’t exist again.

You did more damage than you could fix

You made no sense when you spoke

That was a warning sign that I looked past

We argued about little things, that we could never recall

When you left, it felt like you ripped out my heart

And didn’t care what happened

You stomped on it and dragged it through the dirt

When I got it back I thought there was no repairing it

I just can’t breathe anymore

I don’t want you back in my life

In my presence

Or in my world.

You cut down, pollute, and destroy

Until I have nothing left

After loving you as long as I did

I can finally see why it was so wrong

After all this time, I thought nothing could help

I stayed in darkness, felt that light was too good for me

I would stay up thinking about why…

Why did this happen?

What was I thinking?

Why did I let it get this far?

I should have never let you into my world.

Now that it has been destroyed

I try to leave but there is no escape

You lied and hid

When I asked you

You told me I shouldn’t trust what I hear

But clearly what I heard was right

Picked up off the ground

A knight in shining armor

Saved me from myself and brought me to the light

Treated me like a queen

He helped me heal my heart from all the damage done

He showed me not everyone shows the same love

I finally found the person for me

One who cares about the little things

My favorite color and how I like my coffee

Making me laugh just because he loves the sound

Laying his head on my chest just to hear my heartbeat

Loves me from head to toe with all my flaws

Thinking I’m perfect just the way I am

With each passing day, my smile never fades

Whenever he hugs or kisses me, my pulse quickens

Even in the worst times

Just seeing him makes everything fade away

From sunrise to sunset the smile on his faces brightens the day

So passionate and profound, he shows me the meaning of love

He continues to treat me like his queen and he is my king

The love grows stronger with each passing day

I couldn’t imagine being without him

To this day there is nothing I would change…

heartbreak
