broken heart

I feel so sad
I just want to cry
someone broke my heart
I don't know why

filled my ears
with so many lies
I never even get
a good bye

I have things
that I regret
Others that
I'll never forget

Wishes I know
I'll never get
From a destiny
already set

but I'm not ready to die yet

Maybe I'm like
a dog with a bone
worrying I'll be left
all alone
wasted too much time
by the phone
you can't ring feelings
from a stone
relying on love
that was just on loan

I'm not sure what
it all means
I just know
there's nowhere I can lean
there doesn't seem
to be an in-between
I don't know where I am
just where I've been
