Better Tomorrow

Small tears like soft rain on an overturned bucket 
Fell from her sapphire eyes
She had loved once
She had opened her heart 
Only for it to be torn apart 
She had opened her mind
And yet she had been blind.
Though she wasn’t anymore 
She knew she couldn’t restore 
What she had lost.
She had been tossed 
Away like a crumpled piece of paper 
Just so he could escape her.
Though she had thought they were 
Good for each other 
Others 
Hadn’t thought so 
So she pushed them away 
Though she knew it wasn’t okay
She did it anyway. 
Now it was done
Though she hadn’t been the one 
To run 
Away. 
She felt betrayed 
She felt like she had been played. 
Though she knew it was for the best
She just needed rest. 
And to wake up the next day 
And say hey
I feel a little better today.
