The Heartbroken Dam

From past experience and seeing it happen again and again with friends.

The dam was well-built

The walls they held strong

The water never spilt

And it's held for so long

Through thick and thin

He's never backed down

But an attack from within

And he started to drown

It took countless words

To break up his heart

Yet it took just one sight

To tear his world apart

Someone else now stood with her

But he just can't understand

How he is better than they were

How he was the better man

All the times they've spent together

All those memories they've made

All he has left is a broken tether

All his joyful memories will fade 

He could not fight nor plea

Forever his heart will ache

Who knew that jealousy

Could hurt more than heartbreak?
