Suddenly my heart shut down
And I didn't know why
Yes, I had been thinking of you
But that was not unusal
I always think of you
But maybe it was something about this time
Or this day
Because my heart had just stopped
And at first I didn't realize it
I felt like crying
And though I couldn't muster a tear
And the heartbreak didn't register on my face
It was obvious something was wrong
My face had suddenly gone blank
Of any emotion besides that of defeat
And the most I could do
Was stare straight ahead of me
I admit I was confused
Because I couldn't initially place
The cause of my shut down
But after the cause was identified
Instead of breaking further
My heart pounded
In a way that threatened
To burst from my chest
What can I say now?
I miss you
I love you
And now I'm out of words
So I'm done
Suddenly my heart shut down
And I didn't know why
Yes, I had been thinking of you
But that was not unusal
I always think of you
But maybe it was something about this time
Or this day
Because my heart had just stopped
And at first I didn't realize it
I felt like crying
And though I couldn't muster a tear
And the heartbreak didn't register on my face
It was obvious something was wrong
My face had suddenly gone blank
Of any emotion besides that of defeat
And the most I could do
Was stare straight ahead of me
I admit I was confused
Because I couldn't initially place
The cause of my shut down
But after the cause was identified
Instead of breaking further
My heart pounded
In a way that threatened
To burst from my chest
What can I say now?
I miss you
I love you
And now I'm out of words
So I'm done
