Your Heartstrings Cut My Fingers

I kept your heart safely in my hands
Away from danger
I thought we were
I thought we could
I thought we would be
Together, Always
But
In the end
My fingers were bleeding
Because your heartstrings cut my fingers

You watched me cry and wiped my tears; you made me smile
My Protector; My Guardian Angel
You picked me up
You raised me high
You promised me
Forever, Always
But then
This Fairytale
Wasn’t meant to be
And your heartstrings (they) cut my fingers

The people said we couldn’t be and yet I still believed in
This happy ending
I never knew
It’d hurt this much
Watching you battle
The chemo
No more words are needed now
Because I know you never meant
For your heartstrings to cut my fingers
