You taught me so much

And all you did

Was break my heart

Now I know to be careful

To walk before I run

To trust before I love

To look before I leap

So many tears fell because of you

And yet I want to thank you

Because if you hadn't hurt me

I wouldn't know all the things

I know now

Now I trust no one instead of everyone

Now I stand away from the crowd

Instead of in the middle of it

I watch every move someone makes

Waiting for a fumble

And when they make that fumble

All the truths are revealed

Sometimes I see truth

See people for how they truly are

Even though I don't want to

You've changed me

Maybe not for the best

But I am a different person now

Golden blue eyes

Once sparkling with joy

Have now turned icey and hard

A heart that once overflowed with love

Is now broken and torn

I don't know how to trust anymore

I barely even trust myself

So scared of getting hurt

That I've closed myself down

Sparkles of joy

Shall never beautify my eyes

Love and tenderness

Shall never again live inside my heart

No one should ever be this cold

But I welcome it with open arms

Now I can't get hurt

Since I never let anyone in

So thank you for what you did

Even though it cost me my happiness

You changed me for the best
