Ripping the Stitches

I need you, but you're not there. 

I cry out to you, but you don't care.

your life is happy, so why should you? 

after all, I'm just passing through. 

I wanted to make a difference,

I wanted to be a part of you in every sense. 

above all, I wanted you to love me like I love you,

I wanted our love to sing true. 

There was a time you wanted my affections,

and now all I feel is defection. 

The saying "Broken Heart" is so oft used, we forget the meaning,

but mine is so mangled I struggle just to keep it beating. 

Torn apart by the elements of the outside world,

because I stood holding it out hoping for but one girl. 

For four years I patiently waited, 

while watching in pain, those that she dated. 

but in the name of all that I am, 

my heart has taken all it can stand. 

It crumbles in my outstretched arms and from them it pours, 

weeping its contents onto the floor.

I hope you understand, I have to put it back in. 

though I fear the damage taken here, will be the end. 

Taylor, you make me happier than words could ever explain,

but that's a big part of why you cause me so much pain.
