Anything Goes : When the heart bleeds by Dragana Stjepic

Every lie you told me left a scar in my heart,

I continued to fight even when I knew it was Not right.

My mind and my body left you a long time ago,

But my heart just couldn’t let go.

I wanted this for us more than anything,

But it was killing me to stay and that I admit.

Hearing the negative opinions about myself from the person I loved,

Made me start believing I was always at fault.

As my heart sunk in blood suffocating me whole,

I decided to give up and lose control.

But then I felt this little feeling,

A feeling that lifted me to see what other people were seeing.

As I looked into the mirror and examined myself,

I realized I was looking at a strong person instead.

A person who was misguided by the person she loved,

Only to find out that you are at fault.

At fault for my unhappiness and the bleeding heart,

Realizing now the best thing to do is for us to depart.

There it is again, another little feeling,

The feeling of joy for accepting what I’m leaving.

I saw a smile on this persons face,

I have decided I like this feeling better than fighting for something that is fake.

I am off to my new chapter in my life,

Oh, look at that, I can feel my brand new heart.
