About Someone

Shattered Dreams

Your love was a dream, now broken,
Words of forever, never spoken.
In the ruins of what we had,
I find strength in the sorrow, clad.

About Someone

Heartache

You left me with a heart in pieces,
A love that fades, but never ceases.
In the silence of your absence,
I search for solace, some semblance.

About Someone

Broken Bonds

Our bond, once strong, now lies shattered,
In the wake of love, all dreams scattered.
Yet in this pain, I find my voice,
To rise again, and make a new choice.

About Someone

Heartbreaker’s Hiatus

You broke my heart, then disappeared,
Left me with the tears I feared.
But now I laugh at what we had,
Memories turned from sad to glad.
Heartbreaker, you played your part,
In the end, I've a stronger heart.
Now I thank you for the pain,
For the lessons in the rain.

About Someone

The Heart’s Repair

Hearts mend in the strangest ways,
Your betrayal taught me brighter days.
Broke my heart, but I learned to smile,
Rebuilding love, it took a while.
Now I laugh at what's behind,
Stronger love, a clearer mind.
Heartbreak passed, lessons learned,
In the end, strength was earned.

About Someone

Shattered Dreams

In the quiet of a love once true,
Your betrayal, a harsh debut.
With words like daggers, you tore apart,
The fabric of my trusting heart.
Each promise broken, each lie unveiled,
In your wake, my heart, impaled.
From the ruins of our shared dreams,
Emerge silent, endless streams.
Though pain and sorrow marked my way,
I find strength in each new day.
Your memory, a lesson learned,
In the fires of betrayal, my soul burned.
