Another Broken Heart

[cailinaingeal]

How did I end up in this place again?
Shattered dreams at my feet and tears running down my cheeks,
Standing here with another broken heart.

I swore last time that it would never happen again.
I would not open my heart.
I would not let anyone in.
I would not stand here with another broken heart.

He walked in so easily, making me believe I could have all I dreamed.
Putting faith in fairy tales, I placed my battered heart in his hands.
The ugly duckling had finally become the swan.
“I’m sorry” was all he could say when I was handed the pieces of my heart.
Once again I am standing here with another broken heart.

Never again will I open my heart.
Never again will I let anyone in.
Never again will I stand here with another broken heart.
