Severed

Broken hearts can love again

I watched you fall in love with me,

You pulled me down so effortlessly.

Yes, I fell with you, for you,

But you rose up, and I was left in the blue.

Lying on the floor, lost, confused,

Without you, I felt bruised.

Love, with its cruelest schemes,

Squeezes hearts and shatters dreams.

Between a rock and a hard place,

We learn love's bitter embrace.

For it's only in the hurt we see,

The truth of love, its twisted decree.

You fell in love, I fell in piece,

And in that fall, I found release.
