She Took My Heart

She took my heart,

 

and held it gently,

 

promising to hold

 

it close.

 

She took my heart,

 

and held it lovingly,

 

promising never to

 

let it go.

 

She took my heart,

 

and threw it away,

 

breaking a promise

 

she made to me.

 

She took my heart,

 

and now I have none,

 

just the empty,

 

shattered remains,

 

of love now broken.
