The words you speak like ice
Coming from your lips
Cutting wounds in me
that just can't heal
My love for you, my strength
You the one who brings me joy
Now takes that strength from me
Leaving me wounded
and alone
My tears are softly falling
I cannot control my sadness
All that I felt for you is now forsaken
The space you filled
Now a dark hole of desperation
My breath is slowly coming
Each one more painful than the last
My heart once a pane of glass
Now painfully broken
I let you in where no one tread before
I gave you my trust
So delicate my heart
Fragile as glass
You took my trust
and with it shattered my heart
And now my pain
This shattered glass
