I thought I'd been broken <br />I thought I knew pain <br />Words easy spoken <br />Before I went insane <br /> <br />Love for me had died <br />With anger and disgrace <br />I had to decide <br />My heart was lace <br /> <br />My love had been tested <br />I had but one fate <br />My soul never rested <br />And took your bate <br /> <br />Your kiss so soft <br />I felt so free <br />High in that loft <br />Finally again just me <br /> <br />I warned you away <br />From the heart I lack <br />Since the pain of that day <br />I just want you back <br /> <br />I say what I mean <br />And meant what I said <br />If you could have seen <br />My heart is dead <br /> <br />Don't break yourself <br />Like I broke me <br />I love yous on a shelf <br />With only a memory<br /><br />Amanda Deupree<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heartache-defined/
