She took a deep breath
as all of the stars faded away...

Perhaps you never loved me from the start,
just an unwanted convenience for your heart...

Your love for me had disappeared
suddenly overnight...

You said you would never hurt me,
and like a fool, I believed your every word...

You can call me names
to lower my self esteem...

I want to trust you,
I truly do...

Sometimes in life
I wonder if giving in...

Pinned against a garden fence
by the anger in your fists...

A heart I used to know
lies broken on the ground...

Remember the summer night
we spent by the beach...

Snowdrops created
shadows of the past...

Sometimes on those winter afternoons
she would sit on the swings in the playground...
