The air hangs heavy, words unspoken
In the silence, promises broken
Your trembling hands, a tear-stained face
Reflect the wreckage of this sacred space
Regret lingers on the tongue, bittersweet
A goodbye, once loved, now retreat
Your pain, in your eyes, a mirrored feat
My heart, once yours, now obsolete
I held your hand, a whispered plea
But the future I saw, it didn’t include me
My selfish reasons, a bitter pill
Leaving you shattered, against my will
Regret lingers on the tongue, bittersweet
A goodbye, once loved, now retreat
Your pain, in your eyes, a mirrored feat
My heart, once yours, now obsolete
Can time erase the memory of your tears?
Can forgiveness mend the shattered years?
I carry the weight of what I’ve done
The first time I broke a heart, the battle I’ve won
Regret lingers on the tongue, bittersweet
A goodbye, once loved, now retreat
Your pain, in your eyes, a mirrored feat
My heart, once yours, now obsolete
The echo of your voice, a haunting sound
A constant reminder of love I’ve found
And lost, in the blink of an eye
The first time I broke a heart, I also broke mine
