My heart has been closed
and in need of major repairs
since you walked out on me
without ever looking back

Did you not want to see the hurt
in my eyes or did you not
want to hear my cries
as I pleaded with you to stay?

Nothing was going to keep you here
You had already made up your mind
but I don't think you could foresee
how damaging your departure would be

My feelings had become unimportant to you
I became excess baggage
totally superfluous
no longer required

I felt like a crumb that had been
absently flicked onto the floor
only to be trampled on
and then swept away

My emotional scars will heal in time
but I remain detemined to
become a stronger person
as I refuse to let love defeat me

So much love I have to give
but so carefully I will choose
as to where I plant my seeds of love
in order to reap the rewards
and receive the love I believe I deserve
