Bruise (2012)

You're with her now And not with me. Its fine, I cope, but miserably. Its thoughts of you inside my head While I lie alone in bed. Longing, loneliness, and Love As hopeful as a shot down dove. But I don't die, Oh no, not I, I stare and ache, refuse to cry. Convinced I'm strong I bear the blow, The bruising takes a while to show. I'm lost and flailing, heart's a mess. Hurts more and more, Not less and less.
