Self Pity

Location

Locked inside my skin

When no one understands

All that hate and sorrow

Fill my dying bones again

……………………………………………..

Over and over my mind finds you

I try to stay focused

I tell myself no

But our memories come from out of the blue

…………………………………………..

Am I the only who feels like this?

I know he stopped caring

I even thought our love could never end

So much for forever it seemed like a hit and miss

…………………………………….

Stuck in the world without a soul or heart

Living each day knowing he’s with her

She doesn’t deserve him

I blame myself for the reason we’re apart

………………………………..

I take out my sadness and anger with pain

It really sucks when no one cares

There’s no one to tell me to stop

So I bleed with shame

…………………………………

I know what self-pity is and I know what it’s not

There’s a growing war within me

As I die and break each day

I know I’ll loose the battle though it’s been well fought

…………………………………..
