What Broken Really Means

Camie Doll
broken just means empty
where words cannot find voice
abandoned hearts stay wishing
that leaving was the hardest choice

when something was so full of meaning
and it now lays without those arms
searching out the good in love
when all it brought were falling stars

the love of my life has left me here
my tears cannot express the ache
where some moments felt like heaven
now, leave my heart alone to break

if you knew we wouldnt last forever
why did you promise me, no end
bitterness is falling
escaping from my heart again

melodies I thought we shared
cannot be sung without your tune
when all I feel is hurting
alone, staring at that broken moon

I must be missing who I thought you were
before you left me here to bleed
pretending I am fine without you
like i no longer have that need

broken means to divide into pieces
what we had like shattered glass
my heart is in so many places
wishing I could just go back

I am just so sick of crying for you
when you will never know
just so sick of hurting
when you have already let me go

so done with you still living
when inside I am gone
cannot believe you still control me
with every sad song

you were never supposed to mean this much
my heart just took control
You never know what broken feels like
until you arent the one who's letting go
