Your crooked smile has stolen my heart
And the sentiments stole my soul
Your eyes catch my breath
And their warmth my love
Your laughter sends echoes through me
And the pain now pads the void
When you said you were leaving
My being collapsed in agony
But
Your words brought back a spark
The flame of resilience rekindled by cruelty
Your knowledgelessness crashed like waves
Quenching the dryness of my blind admiration
Learning the truth gave a new purpose to this tired doll
Your loss gave me the most precious gift of all
I stand alone
On my own two feet
No longer leaning on my expectations of you
Carried by the dream I claimed you to be
I am saved by the grace of your idiocy
And I am grateful for when your heart was mine.
