The Aftermath Of Love And Betrayal
When the phone dropped it echoed inside me
I had smiled as I said goodbye, smiling now
Shock runs through me and I’m left numb
I had smiled as I said goodbye, fading now
All I could muster for the lover leaving
Love gone and left me alone, my heart
Aching, there is nothing, there is nothing here
there is nothing
there is nothing
Just nothing.
I am retching , sobbing as the pain comes
Unable to move consciously in the intensity
Aching as it spreads, consumes, death comes
Death waits as I’m writhing on the bed
Overwhelmed and speechless, thoughtless
As the anguish devours my heart savagely
Aching, there is nothing, there is nothing here
there is nothing
there is nothing
Just nothing.
Unable to get a grip on reality enough to
Turn my world back right-side up
Caught tight and bound in pain
My cries are no release to my heart
Leaked around the edges un-stifled
My cries are raw, wordless moans
Unstoppable now that absence
Has embraced my crumbling heart
Rip out my heart so I can go on
Tear open my mind so I can go on
Just make it stop, make it okay
I’ll do whatever it takes
There is nothing
There is no one
Just nothing when you break
