"My Heart Is Still Hurting"

My heart is still hurting

I feel as if I’m a broken picture frame you swear you’ll piece back together

But I just get pushed to the wayside and stay shattered

It doesn’t matter

He doesn’t think about me like I do him

And when

Oh when

Will I do the same

He doesn’t care

He could care less

He was my first love

He taught me what love was and how to do it

All the ins and outs

The ups and downs

And the worst downfall of all

Being blindsided

Killed inside by three words over the static phone

I could barely hear because my tears were drowning you out

As I was drowning in them

“We’re breaking up”

And somehow I knew

It was coming

The breath you took in seemed lighter

Without the weight of me on it

I miss him the way you miss a train

It blows straight past and you feel it’s aftershocks

And once you’ve realized

You’re surprised

And you can’t decide

To chase it down or wait for the next one

And so I’ll wait

The station lights are still on
