Lost Love
Words cannot express the pain
I feel at your hands once again
My entire heart has been torn apart
Smashed on the ground into tiny shards
Like the Christmas ball that bore our names
Scattered over the floor, all in vain
And while I hurried to pick up the sharps
I looked up only to watch you laugh
In my desperate attempt to fix what’s broken
For you to tell me I’m not the one you’ve chosen
You no longer feel the same way
Screaming at me to stay away
Despite all I’ve done to be with you
All the sacrifices I’ve made
The losses I’ve taken
But this you knew
Even writing is hard
You have completely torn me apart
My words are frozen and my mind is numb
Trying to process all that’s been said and done
But if I don’t write I know I’ll cry
Or perhaps even worse, to myself I’ll lie
That this was all for the best
That this was just another test
But I put you above all the rest
No one ever compared to you
How I loved you, I wish you knew
But you did know and didn’t care
Such an awful burden to bear
Your scars on my heart I’m left to wear
Every day I’m forced to live without you
As this is what you wished to be true
Me gone forever, you’ve set yourself free
And I have no choice but to let you be
I’ve lost my love and I’ve lost my heart
The Sun in my Universe, my light in the dark
You were my only spark
When I looked at you I saw forever
My love for you was beyond measure
Every second spent with you I treasured
And to watch you walk away
Is an image that will forever stay
Burned into my mind through all my lives
You’ve cut my heart into pieces with your knife
Crying and desperate I begged you to stay
To make things work not walk away
For you, I would have given my life
But you only laughed at my respite
I loved you so much that I lost me
So blinded by love I couldn’t see
Perhaps you and I are not meant to be
There’s nothing I would not have done
As to lay by your side is to feel like I won
Even though you don’t love me I wanted to stay
By your side
But you forced me to watch as you walked away
And I looked back with tears in my eyes
Praying to God you’ll change your mind
And ask me to remain by your side
As to go home with my tail between my legs
It was so scary that instead, I chose to beg
For you to love me, but you never cared
So I shall enter my ultimate despair
Tortured by your memory everywhere
Plagued by all the scars I wear
From this heart, you’ve bled so bare
The greatest pain that I have felt
Is in the dirty hands that you have dealt
My heart is racing in my chest
Leaving me at a loss for breath
Not allowing me to get any rest
When will this torture end?
For how long must one suffer
At the cruel deeds of another?
Before the mind finally breaks
From all the pain I am forced to face
All the memories replay in my head
From all her words and what she said
Knowing that you took her to bed
While I cried and waited for you
All the while you could never be true
As this was not the first time nor the last
For you only know how to tear hearts apart
Why is it the purest souls that always ache
From the harm caused by others' mistakes?
For my pain sees no end
And my will is beginning to bend
My life’s been hard enough as it is
I didn’t deserve what you did
To lie and cheat and throw me away
When trusting you was my mistake
The pain you have caused me you’ll never know
For I am filled with so much woe
As this seems to be the final blow
The one that made me lose my faith
The one that tells me I’m just too late
To ever think that you would change
And I only have myself to blame
For all of this, I already knew
Deep in my heart, you can never be true
But still, I tried even though it was rough
I guess my love will never be enough
For someone who doesn’t see my worth
And someone who tells me that’s all I deserve
I feel so foolish for even trying
When the only effort you put was into lying
I feel so lost and filled with despair
I don’t see a way out of this anywhere
I’ve embarrassed myself to no ends
When all I ever wanted was to mend
The grief I feel in my chest
The anguish I feel in my head
Yet you only forced me to beg
For human decency and basic respect
As if I’m worth even less
When all I wanted was as a friend
Your cruelty truly knows no ends
I still can’t eat I still can’t sleep
Instead, I feel sick to my stomach
My knees feel weak
At the thought of what you’ve done
You may as well have had me hung
For in death at least I’d find peace
Be free from the feelings you’ve forced on me
But instead, I’m doomed to wither away
So trapped in my desperate despair I shall stay.
