This unbreakable heart

That Saturday morning

when the hammer came down

I begged her not to do it

I said she shouldn't see me

if she had those things to say

I held her hand and prayed

but I could feel

she was a thousand miles away

When she told me 

what was in her heart

I could not blame her

neither could I

look her in the eyes

The tears fell on my hands

my useless, stupid hands

I knew it was coming

but I was paralyzed

I watched her as she dressed

and she became even prettier

right before my eyes

I can see her there

in the bathroom mirror

in that beautiful dress

We decided we couldn't

see each other anymore

as we parted the hot, humid air

as we sat near each other

but so far apart

She had to go

though it seemed early

I knew she was already

so far away

As I held her one last time

her body convulsed

as it was her turn to cry

and then her turn to leave

I can't forget her beautiful smile

her perfect face

as she drove away

I couldn't ask for a purer soul

a better person, a lovelier woman

to break this unbreakable heart.
