Battered and Bruised

I'm lying here all alone
With many questions-dazed and confused.
You confessions to the lies has left
My still fragile heart battered and bruised.

Was it something I said or did
That sent your love away?
What can I do to change your mind?
How can I make you stay?

Did you think I would shrug it off?
Do you not even realize
That the hurt you caused is evidenced
By the flood of tears from my eyes?

You act as though it's no big deal
But yet you stand accused
Of the betrayal and lies that's left
My still fragile heart battered and bruised.
