Heartbreak Like No Other

A heart breaks like something made of glass
And shatters all over the floor that I worked
Hard to clean, but no one is noticing the mass
Or clumps forming in my bloodstream. I perked

Up at the idea of love despite the heartbreak I
Anticipated from many miles down the road
And for you I was willing to come eye to eye
With the fear of falling deep in love. I showed

You my hand time and time again, despite not
Knowing where we were heading. I was riding
Along with the true heartbreak, despite the knot
In my aching chest and it became a deciding

Factor I could not catch my breath. I knew in
My heart that this could never last forever like
I saw with my parents or in the movies. Skin
And bones broke. Fate had us together. A strike

Of lightning drove us apart. The very foundation
In which we built our love from scratch was tearing
Apart as we stood at opposite sides of the train station
Platform. I just wanted to escape as I was steering

Away from the place I did not want to go, complete
Chaos and destruction, but part of me was used to
It as my heart was left behind. What would be sweet
Revenge turned into regret as I do not want to hurt you

Both but I did because I was letting you touch me when
I was really thinking of him the entire time and maybe
I was not over him as much as I wanted to. Once again,
As the bitter tears ran down my face, I felt like a baby

Who was losing everyone I wanted, needed and
Loved. I already knew there was no hope or love.
I came into this world with an open heart and hand,
But I was quickly beginning to lose that kind of

Faith too. I was starting to feel like no amount
Of anything saved me as I was down in the count.
