As I look around
I see families, friends, and couples
All together
Loving, laughter, and smiling
But when I look at my own reflection
I only see a broken heart written on me
As I walk down this lonely road
The aromatic of ash clogs up my nose
My vision,
One clear,
Is now clouded
As well as my judgement
My heart beats ever so low
All I hear is a whimper for help
I finally arrive
To the only place
That never brought me sorrow
The ice cream parlor
Open till midnight
The place that brings joy to young lovers
But to me
It’s a place I’ll never forget
I sit in the same spot
As he and I once did
I still eat the same flavor
But now
All I taste is my own bitter regret
I run outside in tears
My whole life split in half
I feel like my heart just got ripped out
Ever since you left me
My heart has been colder than dry ice
You left me without any warning
Like a sprinter launching off to start
I don’t know what to do
I guess I never will
