I use to see you as Prince Charming

Now you are just a shattered dream

You made many promises

Actions speak louder than words

You say you love me

Let’s say goodbye

Whoops, you lied

    You have officially joined the unofficial club of making heartbreak read like "Wow!" Why didn't we ALL write poems when we broke up? Might've worked better than therapy 😁 All the best for the challenge, Mariann!
