A poem about a broken heart and learning how to love again.
I'm broke because
I only ever wanted what I couldn't have
& when I got too close I pulled back

To still have fun, but play dumb;
& blame the whole world, like I was the only girl
Who had it worse, cuz she’d been hurt
but just stayed on the ground, after falling down

& I’m broke
because I was not prepared for it to be
this heartache, constant melancholy
where I continue to get bitter & hold onto a grudge
against every man because they've forgotten how to love

All because of you we’ve moved on and it's gone
things have happened that can’t be undone
My world’s spun, my one love
It’s been fun

& I’m broke
reminiscing about you and me with the magic of a dream
Eyes like laser beams
& what we could have been, should have been
when all these things kept happening

It couldn't have been real, for you to deny what I feel
But i lost my voice and made a choice
& here we are;

& I’m broke
