She had truly loved him or at least she thought she had
When the dreams of their future ended, her heart was so sad
As the tears rolled down her cheeks she grieved the loss
She was someone real and not an item to use and then toss
She did this to herself over and over when it came to affairs of the heart
Now she felt that she was broken and the pieces were falling apart
What was the purpose of loving if it was only to end?
That is when she saw the light and her heart began to mend
Love was not an object or something to be possessed
It was a feeling to find for which your heart is blessed
She was loving out of need and not out of passion or desire
His actions hurt so bad but it was her heart that was the liar
Their love was not real and it was not the fairy tale she had wanted
She was loving for the wrong reasons and now she was haunted
This time she was broken so badly she could only sit and cry
But now she knew the reasons she had erred, she finally knew why
She had to first love herself before she could give her heart away
Love was a feeling that she wanted, but she wanted it to stay
If you loved for the wrong reasons and you were not honest in life
You gave them the ability to cut you and you handed them the knife
He was not the villain but he was no knight in shining armor either
But when you chose love for the wrong reasons, you end up with neither
This time in her life she was going to learn to love herself first
She had decided to let herself find love without being cursed
Maybe the only way we can be whole is to first be broken
And through the pain she felt herself finally be woken
Life and love are gifts so precious and rare
They should be given with the utmost of care
Her heart was healing and she now knew she was worth it
Somewhere out there was a heart that together was the perfect fit
Right now she would learn to enjoy her beautiful life
No one can hurt her again for now she held the knife
She knew that by loving herself and being in control
She could give her heart away, not broken but whole
