The Breaking


My heart is falling to pieces and I don't know where to hide.
Life is splintering and breaking but I don't want to die.
When will my soul be released?
From the pain of this sea of emotions and grief?
I die inside, I cry inside, someone come and save me please.
All these lies that fill my mind are too much for me to bare.
I feel as though they're something I will never be able to flee.
Why did you have to lie oh so many times?
Was there a single truth, within all of your words?
I found out what was real and what was not, but when I called you out,
you made it feel as though it was something that I should regret.
No apology, no sorry. 
All you said was a sour goodbye.
All I heard was a bitter "go die".
And here I am.. left alone in my mind.
To keep thinking to my lonesome self, just why??
