UNTIL THEN

Sitting here alone every night
Locked up in your prison
A prison you too should occupy
I’m scared

It’s empty inside me
You seeped into my heart
Laced me with terror and disease
Took all the love out
So now all I feel is hate

With a side helping of pain
You have abraded my soul
Locked me away in this cage
You’ve abolished me
Threw me out like garbage

How could you do this to me?
I thought you loved me
I would leave if I could, but I’m too weak
Too weak to even pick myself up off the floor

To reabsorb the love you once fed to me
Would fill me with resplendence
But I am too weak now to even hope
You hurt me too bad
I was never mean or hateful
But also never sincere

That couldn’t be the cause of goodbye
You had to have an ulterior motive
Were you just a wicked con?
To delicately take me in your arms
Just to slam me into the pit I reside in now?

Whatever the reason
You still lie absent from my lonely lips
Please return, I need you

I don’t know how much longer I can withstand
This pain is overwhelming

I would have never expected pain from you
You really let me down
Because I believed in you
You were strong
What made you give in this way?
If I knew what did this to you
Then maybe I could wipe the blood that pours from my wrist
But until then
I’ll see you again
