Back Into My Heart
I don't sniff your pillow anymore;
and I've stopped hugging it late at night.
Although your subtle scent still lingers,
your photos are no longer in sight.
Denying that you ever cheated,
you swore to God that your love was true.
But despite vows of fidelity,
betrayal severed my heart in two.
You cavalierly brag to your friends
that I'll not easily forget you.
And I admit, I cried when you left;
but those tears dwindled to but a few.
Time reduced you to a memory
shortly after we drifted apart.
And all my lost dreams and hopes returned,
finding their way back into my heart.
