There are moments so clear
Standing alone and scared.
You've taken everything from me
Left me with all of this.
Not sure what to do now.
Can my eyes behold another?
Tears washing away
The trace of memories.
Close my eyes and I can still sense you.
Try to escape to another place.
Down in the depths within myself.
Don't let anyone see
You've taken it all away from me.
Please tears wash it away.
Take away the traces of you
Tired of aching deep inside.
Need to feel something other than this.
No one should ever feel this alone.
Not when surrounded by love.
I look for it, but I'm blinded by it.
Not quite sure how to discover it again.
Give it back! what you've taken from me.
Let me be whole again.
Don't want to give you the satisfaction.
You won't win this time.
The tears will wash you away.
Setting me free for a while.
I can only wait for when that is.
Hurting deeply inside until then.
Slowly repairing and healing
The wounds you've inflicted.
