A year ago, today
He said he'd never hurt me
A year ago, today
He promised me the world
A year ago, today
It was all sunshine and rainbows
But now, today
He's gone
Now, today
I'm all alone
Now, today
I sit in the ashes of what was and weep
Now, today
I berate myself for being a fool

A fool who is all alone.

"Cuidado con mi corazon."--R. Martin

I'm sorry you are hurting, you shouldn't think yourself a fool. Seems to me he is the fool. *heart hugs* for you

This touches me.  It probably doesn't help to hear this, but better times will come.

It is all to often we blame ourselves for being the fool, when reality, they are the fool.  Hugs and hope you feel better soon.

Yes when they promise forever ...It hurts so much when those ties sever ..
but know you are not a fool, its just love that blinds us occassionally

yep, been there.

he said he wouldn't hurt me but he did and guess what?  He knew he would because he knew who he was then and just didn't want to admit it.  

But we grow stronger and we learn to recognize the flaws.  We become better people for being exposed to the facade'.

it gets better, trust me.
