Stop Tearing Up My Heart

by Marlena - Cancer

You're tearing up my heart, boy.
Each day when I'm not with you,
the pain of not having you near me,
just breaks my heart into a thousand pieces, 
which won't allow me to do what I have to, to get
you out of my life.

Sometimes I wish I would just die so I wouldn't 
have to go on each day feeling the way that I am 
for you inside.
I thought that I could be strong and fight this
pain that I have inside,
But my heart won't let my love for you die.

Now I'm laying here trying to decide what I must 
do to get over you this time.
I thought that love was the thing for me,
but I was wrong to believe that loving you was
all I needed to survive,
Because loving you with all my heart, never did me 
right.
It just made me realize that I wasn't the chosen one
for your heart.
Now I must be strong and find the strength to 
go on without you here to give me with I long 
for.
I can't believe you did this to my heart.
When loving you was the only thing that I did
wrong.
Now I must stop playing our favorite song
in my heart.
As I try to move on, I'm finding my life so
hard to pick up the pieces of my broken heart.

I'm staring outside at the sky, wishing that 
someone would come set me free.
Making all my pain just leave my heart.

Stop tearing up my heart, 
Just let go of what you ignored,
my tender soul.

Stop tearing up my heart,
Just walk away from my life.
Pretend we never met.
Just let me live in peace.
That's all I'll ever need as long 
as you set my heart free.

Reason for writing:

    Each day is a challenge, but I'm slowly learning to let go of something that will never be as long as things remain the way it is.
