The Night By Makayla Hubbard The night that you kissed me My stomach filled with a thousand butterflies Like a swarm wanting to be set free The night that you held me close to you Our shadows tangled together Like roots of a tree So twisted together that they don’t break free

The night that you told me you loved me Our hearts aligned as one Like the stars forming a constellation In a clear dark sky The night you told me you didn’t love me anymore My heart broke into a million pieces Like shattered glass so fragile and easily damaged

The night you left me Tears streamed down my cheeks Like waterfalls flowing down a mountain side

The night you found someone new My soul shredded in two So easily ripped by the hands of you
