Before I met you

Before I met you, I kept my heart locked away.

Stored it in a safe place where no one could touch.

You came along with all the right things to say,

To make me believe that this love could be real.

That this world isn’t evil and that people don’t lie.

But that’s not the case because your actions don’t conceal,

All the cruel things you did, now our love comes undone.

My heart’s shattered in pieces and tears on the ground,

With the weight of the world on my shoulders feeling like a ton.

I’m back at step 1 hoping to remember what I once knew.

Trying to figure out how my heart felt once like it did in the past.

Like it did back then, before I met you.
