Heartless
You crushed a gentle giant today.
And you didn’t even care.
His heart was broken into a million tiny pieces.
Even if somehow they could be glued back together,
It would never, ever be the same.
Because there are pieces that were lost
And can never be found.
There are even pieces that were destroyed.
So try as I might, his heart can never be fixed.
You did this. . . and it was no accident.
It was with deliberation.
You knew what you were doing and still
You tossed him aside casually
With no concern for his feelings.
You don’t realize today what you have lost.
Oh, but someday you will.
Someday your heart will cry out for him,
Because someone has treated you so cold and callously.
Perhaps at that moment you will remember
And think that about what you have done.
The devastation you have created.
The heart you have broken.
There has never been a day since you were born
He has not loved you.
His fight to see you and be with you has been long and hard.
Today, he is defeated by the one he has fought for . . . you.
Yes, there will come a day when the one
You think you can depend on now, will forsake you.
It’s coming like a runaway train and the one who truly loves you
Is powerless to stop what is to come.
You have made your choice.
There never had to be a choice, but you decided to choose.
You were even encouraged to choose.
You will call out his name to rescue you
Like so many before you.
God only knows whether he will be there or not.
How can you live without a heart . . .
And you didn’t even care.
His heart was broken into a million tiny pieces.
Even if somehow they could be glued back together,
It would never, ever be the same.
Because there are pieces that were lost
And can never be found.
There are even pieces that were destroyed.
So try as I might, his heart can never be fixed.
You did this. . . and it was no accident.
It was with deliberation.
You knew what you were doing and still
You tossed him aside casually
With no concern for his feelings.
You don’t realize today what you have lost.
Oh, but someday you will.
Someday your heart will cry out for him,
Because someone has treated you so cold and callously.
Perhaps at that moment you will remember
And think that about what you have done.
The devastation you have created.
The heart you have broken.
There has never been a day since you were born
He has not loved you.
His fight to see you and be with you has been long and hard.
Today, he is defeated by the one he has fought for . . . you.
Yes, there will come a day when the one
You think you can depend on now, will forsake you.
It’s coming like a runaway train and the one who truly loves you
Is powerless to stop what is to come.
You have made your choice.
There never had to be a choice, but you decided to choose.
You were even encouraged to choose.
You will call out his name to rescue you
Like so many before you.
God only knows whether he will be there or not.
How can you live without a heart . . .
