"Hasbeen" ( for every broken-heart)


from the ABC set Love poems

The shackles which once bonded our hearts
Are now forever broken
*sigh*
At least now I can go and look away
As you yourself had spoken

Though one thing that troubles me
Is this one little thing
Of all the things you ever said
Why did you choose the ones that cling

"I love you" were the first few words
That brought our lives together
It's sad because now that I 'm leaving
Those words you said won't matter

But don't be mad my sweet, oh shush
O Please don't say a thing
You already said enough for me
To see what love has been

What will I do?? what will you do?!
It's done, no more, capiche??

No more, it's done forevermore
Say goodbye to the life you'd once been

For I am just like the others that you broke.
