What Once Was
You came, you brought me joy,
you brought me laughter,
but most of all, you brought me love.
And when you left, you took them all away.
I was a fool.
Should've known you were never here to stay.
Should've known you'd go away.
When you left, you left me a broken empty heart.
When you left, you left me shattered dreams.
Now my empty heart closes the doors for you,
for others,
for a second chance.
It closes from the unbearable: insanity.
I hope that you go and never love again, to spare others of such pain.
But darling dear, if you do love, love truly, love deeply.
