The silence is deafening
And so painful are the memories.
So damaged was I in love
The rose colored glasses masked our unpleasantries.

You have scarred me
And the nights promise pain.
You made me feel less than enough.
This shadow lurks silently as it preys on my sane.

I have become stronger now, yes
I have become wiser indeed.
The only trouble I face now
Is finding someone who gives me what I need.
