Last Year's Flowers

My Heart Died for You

I don't want to think that it was the last night I hoped in you,
I don't want to see if that was the night my heart died for you.

I can only but barely live moment by moment,
The dullness in my mind has left me frozen.

Either way,
Nothing could erase the pain-

It came down, the sudden rain,
It hurt more than I imagined, the way it came

That flooded the opened lacerations on the heart you made brand new,
But I couldn't have guessed the one to break it was going to be you.

I'm trying to drown out the water in my lungs
But everywhere I look it reminds me, and the worst is that it happened more than once.

I can't ever hate you
For what you put me through,

Because either way,
I'm going to love you exactly the same

Despite the surreal pain,
The way love pours out is forever changed,

And the memories of dreams that I can't let fade
When you are the reason I found the best of me then and today.

Everything might have collapsed that night,
But you as a part of my story, no matter how hard I try, I cannot deny.
