Broken


Darkness

fell erasing away all of those happy moments

leaving behind nothing but sorrow

Pain

I felt pain deep inside of my soul

How could you leave

how could you

my tears fall streaming down my face

staining my skin.

My baby blue eyes

now empty and red

They aren’t the same eyes that you use look into.


I curl up into a ball in my bed

laying here wishing and wanting

screaming into the night

but no one hears me.

No one is there to come comfort me

to hold me close.

Only silence welcomes me now

Loneliness creeps in.


Did I do something wrong

did I push you away?

Why did you leave me this way

Yesterday our lives were a fairytale

Today it’s all upside down

I lay here dying inside

while you lay there with her by your side.

Is her flesh sweeter than mine?

Does she give you something I never could?


Darkness closes in more and more

with each tear that falls from my eyes.

I can feel the storm building up inside.

I will no longer hear the whispers in my ear

no longer hear I love you slide off your tongue.

The kisses you once placed on my skin

so soft and delicate

they are no more.




Your lips

your flesh

your touch

it all belongs to her now.

God this hurts so much.

I just want to scream at the top of my lungs.

I want to wake up from this nightmare

I want to wake up and see you laying by my side.

Why

why oh why can’t I hide

from all of this pain I am feeling inside.


Darkness consumes every inch of my soul

I am nothing more than an empty hull

because when you left so did I

I am no longer who I was inside.

I feel used

torn

broken

hurt.


You promised me forever

forever is supposed to last

instead you used me

used me like I was some piece of ass.

Was that what I was to you

just another fool

someone to believe your lies

someone who was nothing in your eyes.


Anger fills the night

rage flows in my veins

tears dry on my face.

Love no longer has a place

no place here in my life

my soul has turned as black as coal

my heart now as cold as the ice in your soul.
