I may have no battle scars, but
I can feel the internal bleeding.
This war between myself and me
Is of no cause. A fake alliance
Will suffice until
Another battle erupts.

Far too short of a time
Were you mine.

You retreated from my embrace
Before I could but see your frantic face.

You left me here to rot
In my confused woes, I kid you not.

How could you leave me?
Alone, you thought you set me free?
All I have is this worthless heart,
That of which you broke apart.

Why, why did you leave?
You left me with a tear-soaked sleeve.
All this emotion should be yours.
It’s for you that my mind still soars.

This love I have for you,
It will never simply retreat.
All I want from you
Is a reason to feel complete.

I only wish for you to return
These feelings I’ve put in an urn.

And on my shelf they lie:
They will return if ever you try
To be with me again.
Don’t let this be the end.

I never knew a song could hurt so much
Until you took it and tore my ears apart.
Depart, depart from my thoughts.
Depart, depart from my mind.
I must, by all means, leave you far, far behind
In the dusty, mangled brain of mine.
Without you, I will do just fine.

Believe me,
You are the dark sea
That I should never subject myself to receive
Ever again.

I don’t need your lack of speed.
I don’t need my own selfish greed.
