You left me...
Buried in love letters
Drenched in tears
Saturated with anger.
But it's all meaningless.

You left me...
And I wanted to die.
Wanted to sleep it all away.
Act like it never happened.
But that's all a lie.

I gave you what you wanted.
All I had.
All I earned.
All I could.
But you left me...

You left me...
Alone...
Cold...
Sad...
BROKEN.

I feel like this is just skeleton for more awesomeness... describe what went on, and if anything, you could try playing with the format to make it look broken.

Keep it up!
