Survivor

No boy is worth the tears!!

One million one, one million two

Still counting the pieces of my heart

One million three, one million four

You were the one that tore it apart

 

One million five, one million six

You are always staring at me

One million seven, one million eight

Crying is what you want to see

 

One million nine, one million ten

I'll admit, some feelings still linger

One million eleven, one million twelve

But that doesn't mean I'll stop giving you the middle finger

 

One million thirteen, one million fourteen

I'm done crying over you

One million fifteen, one million sixteen

And hoping what happened never came true

 

One million seventeen, one million eighteen

You didn't destroy my life

One million nineteen, one million twenty

And you didn't cause that much strife

 

One million twenty-one, one million twenty-two

You're not worth it, you never were

One million twenty-three, one million twenty-four

A loyal and honest guy is what i prefer

 

One million twenty-five, one million twenty-six

So keep thinking you've had an impact

One million twenty-seven, one million twenty-eight

But you're just pathetic, that's a fact

 

One million twenty-nine, one million thirty

I found all the pieces to my heart

So now you can go to hell

Because you will never see me fall apart

Wonderful work. I laughed and at the same time felt the emotions you invested in this piece. Thanks for sharing.

By the end I had imagined this great big pile of broken heart pieces on the floor.
Hope they all went back together again for the next love to bloom
