Crippled Love

A heart once filled with joy,

and dreams blooming like flowers.

I thought she had only broken my heart,

but she trampled on it.

I thought she came

to start something new.

Instead, she set my heart on fire,

as if it had been waiting only to burn.

I thought she was a miracle,

but she became my biggest heartbreak.

There was no way to win.

No matter what I did,

I ended up in pain.

The pain she left behind

could make even hell shiver.

I loved her more than anything.

Now the pain she left

follows me everywhere.

Was she my heaven,

or the door that led me to hell?

Since the day she left,

I have lived there.

She believed

My love was crippled.

If only she had stayed,

she would have seen

it could have grown to be stronger.
