In this moment,
It's as though time,
Has ceased,
I am frozen,
But the world keeps moving

It's just another disappointment,
And if we're being honest,
You weren't being honest,
I'm not sure I should even care

A truth,
I was cold

Love is a tragedy,
It is not safe or sweet,
It is cruel and cold,
Love is painful,
Layered with sorrow,
Love brings bloodshed,
Leaving scars in its wake,
Love is misunderstanding,
It tears us apart,
With confusion,
Love is broken,
Hollowness masked,
By the falsehood of joy,
Love is a promise,
Broken and abandoned,
Regarded as lies,
Well-intended lies,
Love is a pretence,
On which we lay our lives,

*Love is a tragedy

Tell me how,
To numb the pain,
To fill the emptiness,
And stop the bleeding

Sometimes,
I feel dead,
My fingertips,
Are blue and cold,

Sometimes,
I feel nothing,
Not even when he's here,
Beside me,

Sometimes,
I am hollow,
And only the pain,
Can mask the emptiness,

Sometimes,
I can't breathe,
And just as I begin,
To fade away,
Something pulls me back
