The Day You Broke My Heart<br />
By: Erin Carr<br />
The day you broke my heart was the day I became a stronger woman<br />
I refused to walk with my head down anymore<br />
It was a rainy cold Tuesday morning<br />
I don’t like the rain very much<br />
But that was the least of my problems, I never cried<br />
But the day you broke my heart, I was flimsy like a weeping willow<br />
My leaves no longer were bright green, orange, cherry red or brown, more of a pale gray<br />
The day you broke my heart, I instantly realized something was missing<br />
Was it your touch that would reassure my place? Or the way you looked at me with the glossiest brown eyes I’ve<br />
ever seen?<br />
As time went on and you forgot about us, I forgot about love<br />
Your love was a highly addictive drug I couldn’t live without<br />
Not like cocaine but more like ecstasy<br />
Nevertheless, the day you broke my heart was the best eye opener I’d ever had<br />
When I was finally able to realize there was life after you<br />
When I finally realized that no matter how bad I wanted you<br />
Like Michael Jackson’s BAD<br />
I realized I did not need you<br />
You were a teddy bear that I could sleep without<br />
When it was cold in the mornings, and I blew my breath in the air<br />
I saw that I could still breathe without you<br />
I was still walking and talking fine without you<br />
This confused me, because I thought I had no future without you in my past<br />
Honestly, the day you broke my heart, I depleted my tears, I am done crying for someone<br />
Who wouldn’t even shed a solid tear for me,<br />
You can’t possibly know my story without seeing my glory
