I cried as I drove home tonight
But you didn’t know.
I left my heart out in the air
And it cracked as it fell.
But it’s not the first time
My heart has been damaged or contused.
Can you not see
The pain that seeps out of me?
Sometimes I think I love too much,
And, while you love, it’s not as deep.
Should I stay and be in pain,
Or should I end it now while I am still sane?
I saw a glimpse of what used to be
When you returned last week.
My heart leapt and beat a million beats,
But now it’s slowed to a steady, simmering pace.
Do I no longer stir your blood
Or cause your body to heat?
If so, please can we end this now
And say once it was good?
I cried as I drove home tonight
But you didn’t know.
I left my heart out in the air
And it shattered as it fell.
