When You Tore My Heart

When you tear my heart into two
How do you think I'll react?
Crying, cawing, cold bitter grief,
Or arms open for your return?
I never was one to hold a grudge
Like a knife clasped to my broken
heart, waiting for the bad lover
to return the blood he spilled.

You made me cry, bawl like a babe
Though it was a release, more
Than I ever shed a tear before
So then, are you glad that I stayed?
No animal noises for me,
No harboured anger. Still, I'm hurt.
Hurt that you would take time to flirt
With another girl, she your type?
No? Will I do? Am I enough for you?

My arms are open for you, now
The sun's not out yet, storm's gone though.
So it'll take time, my heart will heal
more, if you hold my heart with me.
There, like that, does my heart feel real?
I forgive you, you know. For love.
