A heartbreaking commitment

My young heart has been bruised
but never in the same way shall it be shattered
because the hurt i felt for losing the one i loved
was one that crushed me to great extents.

as he swooped her up and did what i couldnt do
i could feel the tears pouring down my face
a feeling i never actually experienced.
it was like ripping off my own arm

because id always cared about her feelings
i had mad her the priority of my life
i had given up too much for her love
and it was taken away in a matter of minutes.

the heartbreak i felt from that day killed me inside.
i had no way to relate or compare it to anything else.
even though it hurts i wont lie and say she never meant anything to me.

the days we shared having fun and making memories.
the nights we glanced up at the stars.
the moments we spent in silence sharing only our love.
even the differences we had that tore us up inside.

i could feel the passion in the kisses we shared.
i embraced the chances to be alone with her.
and in my mind i never thought once
that this could have been too good to be true.

it was and i fell right into a dead end.
we never thought anything through but
we made a commitment only i stuck to.
i treated her greater than anyone else in the world.

i loved her and now shes with another man.
now shes happy with someone who doesnt get her.
not as much as i can.
throughout this i just had one request.

i wanted one last thing for her to honor.
as her nails scratched my face i wanted one thing.
even if she were sincerely done with me.
i just wanted one last dance.
but that was a dance that wasnt meant to be.
