So I thoughtlessly gave you the key
and you tried to give it back to me.
It was too late though
cuz your foot was in the door.
My heart in your hand,
and my tears tumbled down.
I couldn't take back what I'd given to you
and I couldn't run away like I wanted.
As you left heart in hand,
bewildered,
I watched as you walked away.
I knew it was over before it began,
but couldn't find the word I wanted to say.
After all nothing would change.
I still wouldn't be what you need.
I'm still broken and crying,
with eyes full of tears and need.
If only you weren't so charming.
If only you weren't so sweet.
If onlys make no difference,
cuz you still wouldn't need ME.
I thought maybe I could make you happy.
Stupid of me,
such a fool.
I need to let go but I can't,
and I can't burden you with my tears.
I'll smile for you so bravely,
you won't see the shattered shards
or crumbs that drip from your pocket,
where you casually put my heart.

I didn't comment on this before but I wanted to say that I love the last few lines where you talked about the shattered shards and crumbs that would drip from his pocket - I didn't realize the first time I read it that you were talking about a broken heart, so I was confused but still loved the poem, but when I came back to read it again I was like "Oh!" and I really loved that imagery and the creative way you put it.

It sucks when they're so nice that you almost can't even be mad at them for breaking your heart. :(
