Soon I will start healing
At least that's what I hope
It's what I tell myself each night
To ease my grief and help me cope
What a cruel reality
The lonely ditch I've dug
No words to describe the depth of my pain
No one to listen
Nobody to hug
A terrible lie resounds in my head
"It's all your fault "
A voice declares
A barrage of negative beliefs cavort
In a twisted game of musical chairs
Broken promise of forever
Remaining shards rest in my hands
Along with the fading traces
Of our once-unified plans
Imprisoned by sweet memories
Held captive in their embrace
Try to take a step forward
But my feet are frozen in place
Never have I felt so low
Crushed by overwhelming desire
Not understanding how attraction so strong
Could suddenly with no warning expire
I yearn for happiness I had
Before blue skies turned grey
Now the closest to joy I will get
Are those moments in my mind I replay
An awful truth I must accept
Is that you are never coming back
And since you left my heart has darkened
To an ugly shade of bluish-black
I fear my tomorrows will all be the same
In this tunnel I see no light at the end
It has been a whole year since goodbye
And these wounds haven't yet begun to mend
Set my soul free from misery
And the love to which it is bound
Maybe then I will uncover peace
That so far cannot be found
Is it just me or has anyone else taken an unusually long time to recover from a broken heart?
