whisper of the heart

Rebound

she thought she'd found her way

back to love, back to life

but little did she know

he was just a rebound strife

a distraction from the pain

a temporary high, a fleeting gain

he was the one she'd turn to

when the memories still lingered true

but he didn't see her heart

he didn't feel her soul

he was just a rebound love

a temporary role

she thought she'd moved on

thought she'd left the past behind

but the memories still lingered

like a ghostly mind

he was the one she'd cling to

when the loneliness crept in

but he didn't love her truly

he just loved the way she fit within

she was a rebound love

a temporary fix

a way to pass the time

until he found his next mix

but she gave him her heart

gave him her all

thought he'd love her truly

thought he'd stand tall

but he just used her

used her to fill the void

left her shattered, broken

like a heart that's been employed

now she's left to pick up the pieces

of a heart that's been bruised

left to wonder, to question

why she wasn't enough, why she wasn't the truth

she thought she'd found love

thought she'd found her way

but it was just a rebound

a temporary stay

she'll rise again, she'll shine so bright

her light will guide her through the darkest night

she'll find her own way, her own love

and leave the memories of him, like a distant glove

she'll learn to love again, to trust again

to find her own heart, her own way to win

she'll rise above the pain, the heartache, the shame

and find her own love, her own flame.
