Title: The Day my Heart Died

(Writer’s Note: I Wrote this back in wait… wait… 2001 or so. It was written after “freedom”. Freedom was the celebration of love for Erin Belanger. “The Day my Heart Died” was the ending note of our relationship. It would seem she was the first and last real relationship I have ever had. We actually did a lot together. She was so different from me in all aspects. I guess you could say, “We Balanced Each Other Out”. I really like that phrase btw. It was awkward when we saw each other after this when she came back from university for the winter break. She is one of two people who if ever were to come back in my life and asked me to marry them I would without thinking.)


My life is down,
I was up at one point,
But now I am drowning,
She was my life,
Changed my view,
But now they are back,
I was warm at one point,
I was not cold and heartless,
She picked me up when I was down,
She brought a smile from me when there was only a frown,
She said she loved me,
I remember lying together watching tv,
I remember late nights talking,
Going to the movies,
Walking hand in hand,
Talking together and making some plans,
I treated you right,
And never put up a fight,
Sat under a starry cold might,
I gave my jacket for you to stay warm,
I only came when you called,
I put aside my life for you,
You said that you loved me,
It was all a lie,
Alone I was,
Neglected and ignored,
Ruining a think I thought was for sure,
Old habits picked up,
I showed my heart,
And all I got was a door,
We’re no more,
I would have shed a tear,
But I couldn’t care,
Never again will I be hurt,
Alone forever if I must be,
Alone without you I will be,
Cold and empty,
But wanting it that way,
I will admit simply,
You were the closest to me at the time,
I will miss you,
And I am glad you were mine.
