my heart is literally broken
i can feel the jagged shards
in my hollow chest
in my throat
the pain is all consuming
the familiarity is met with disdain
its not your fault he said
its too much for me he claimed
too much on his mind
not enough time
too much space
fucked up timing in his life
he said it all so calmly
words seeped with total lack of regret
said it wasnt fair to me
that he didnt treat me right
for me it came out of nowhere
i honestly thought we were doing completely fine...
it was difficult only seeing him once a week
but i was happy...
i tried to cheer him on
tried to stand by his side
just for him to spring this on me
and leave me behind in the sands
of soon to be forgotten time
it burns
the loss of my love
for to my misfortune i had fallen
i loved the falling
but he never caught me
instead he allowed my love to die
left my heart broken
my eyes swollen with the flood of love lost
my soul heavy with the agony
of our relationship's demise
now the night is cold
and my spirit colder
my inner light has dimmed
my essence tarnished
what was once a diamond
reverts back to coal
and so tonight,
i cry...
i cry for the pain
i cry for the heartbreak
i cry for the love he left behind
i cry for the love that never had a chance to be known
i cry for the love he let wither and die...
yes tonight...
tonight i cry...
