His eyes whispered goodbye as he slipped away
My cheeks trickled, my heart turned black
Like a terminal illness he stole my life away
Emptiness laughed in my face and to the ground I went
...

I’ve loved twice in my short life
And I’ve been abandoned twice aswell
My little heart has broken down and it cant take no more
My cries fall on ignorant ears
...

I’ve loved twice in my short life
And I’ve been abandoned twice aswell
My little heart has broken down and it cant take no more
My cries fall on ignorant ears
...

As I sink deeper into this dreary abyss
I let my clouded mind roam free once again
And as it wildly runs through philosophy,
I stand back, I watch it live and discover
...

Finally, I can breathe easy
Something I've longed for, for so long
My eyes are dry and my throat is clear
...

Have you ever been so low that you’re just… numb?
So helpless that you feel empty?
Surrounded by people but so alone?
Have you ever held yourself captive,
...

Imprisoned in a deep wallow
My throat narrows, I cannot swallow
The taste of this pain is crying for conclusion
I cannot abide, tormented by confusion
...

Like the sky darkens and night descends
Like the birds fly and widen their wings
Like the little child cries and depends
You will forever be my friend
...

I stand there at your resting place
Thinking of how times have changed
As my mind delves deeper into thought
I’m dragged to my knees in submission
...

My physical expressions give me away
They triumph over what I want to say
I feel the wrath of my insane pain
Constantly contradicting myself at every turn
...

I’m walking down a long, narrow, cold corridor
The hairs on my neck stand strong with each step
I see a dark, familiar figure waiting at the end
As I edge closer with caution, I recognise this person
...

Mediocre phrases, sting like frost bite
Waves of emotion run through my vessels
My system shuts down, my breaths descending
Raw skin around my darkened red eyes
...
