It Broke My Heart

A decade passed, or two. I knew
My heart stopped counting when we met.
It broke my heart, how much I loved
To use you, to help me to forget.

You banished me, inexplicably,
To a corner of your heavy, weary soul.
It broke my heart, how sure I felt
You used me to mend the parts she stole.

We strained like wolves, in a tug of war;
You promised you would never let me fall.
It broke my heart, when I opened my eyes
And found you were never there at all.
