Have you ever been in so much pain
That your insides fell out
of your scarred and shaking self?
Where all of the places inside
that once were alive
are dead and suffering no more?
Once your heart takes a hit
From a hurricane
It’s all rearranged
Full of disaster,
And water stains
From your tears
you cry.
Like water from a leaking faucet
Your eyes are never quite dry.
Never quiet,
When you lie down at night
Put your face in your pillow
pretending to sleep
You cover your ears
So you can’t hear yourself weep.
You poor and lonely
Heartbroken soul,
Didn’t you know?
Love is too fragile to keep
Love is too fleeting to stay
You should have known
That when he went away
He wouldn’t come back the same.
Because JUST love,
Can’t keep him warm
And JUST love can’t keep him happy enough
Until your next call
Because he’s not happy
With you at all.
Because he’s moved on
And left you out of breath
From all of your guessing
And all his regrets
Have left you empty handed,
At best.
