And This Is Why

My heart doesn't break
Because I loved you
It doesn't hurt
Because you left
My heart doesn't feel
Because you've numbed it
And it doesn't love,
Because it's broken.

My heart doesn't break
Because I loved you
And it doesn't hurt
Because you left me
With everything we went through
I loved you a little
But now my heart doesn't love
Because it's broken.

My heart doesn't break
Because I loved you
And it doesn't hurt
Because you left me
But I was left open
An emotional incision
And my heart can't love her
Because it's broken

From cradle to grave
By this cursed giving
I gave myself up,
And gave up on myself
And you were mine
In the beginning
But I was never yours
And my heart is broken.

Very moving. It's much calmer than the initial reaction of a break up, which makes it that much better than the next over-dramatic poem. All in all, great job.

This is a very beautiful, and well written piece. You expressed the emotion very well! Great write. Thank you for sharing this.
