LISTEN TO MY HEART BREAK
Listen to my heart break
Can you hear the pieces fall
It lies completely shattered
And there’s nothing left at all
There’s a piece once called love
And next to it lies trust
Joined by faith and devotion
Now turning into dust
It’s sad that love such as ours
Now ends in such a way
And can never see tomorrow
Through the pain it wears today
Echoes of love once shared
Are whispering in my head
Reminding me of vows we made
The day that we were wed
Fingertips of memory
Are more than I can bear
As they serve to remind me
Of the heartache I now wear
It’s the end of something beautiful
Built upon for years
And bonding is prevented
By the moisture of my tears
