gone

It's so dark

I'm underwater

Trying to breathe

The pressure..

It consumes me

My chest is heavy

My heart is torn

Shredded to pieces

Broken

Shattered

I walked away

For you I smile

For you I laugh

Not one thing is real

Oh, love

Everything just hurts

My head is dark

I can feel myself going

Deep into myself

Retreating from life

Hiding my face

Food doesn't pass my lips

My eyes stay to the ground

Such a pain

I've never felt before

Always the strong one

I never cry

And yet

My cheeks have been wet

With salty drops

Nonstop

I just want to tell you

What's inside

My broken heart

But I can't

Because you're the reason

I cry myself to sleep

Only to wake with nightmares

You're the reason I cry

And reach out

Only to withdraw

You would have understood

But you can't

Because you're gone.
