You did not break my heart, 

You burned it till it was nothing but ashes. 

You did not break me,

You obliterated me. 

You did not hurt me, 

You tortured me. 

I loved you. 

People say "Move on"

But thats easier said than done. 

I'm trying so hard to understand 

How the one that sang and danced laughed and played

Could be the same man, 

That pillaged my heart

And destroyed my soul 

And still gave me gifts for no reason at all. 

Now I am healing, 

Slowly, its true 

My bruises are gone

But its my memories of you

That plague me. 

Still: I am healing, 

My heart is reassembling from the ashes

My body is sealing up all the gaping wounds that your words left. 

I am far from how I was, 

But I'm ready for a new start.
