How can I feel happy
When inside I'm torn apart?
How am I still able to love
With an aching broken heart?

What can stop your image
From haunting my tired mind?
What will it take for me
To finally leave you behind?

Who are you really underneath
The mask you wear on your skin?
Who am I without your presence
To fill me with devotion within?

When will this loneliness
Stop toying with my brain?
When are the memories
Going to spin down the drain?

Where has my confidence gone
Now that it's vacated my bones?
Where does that leave you and I
More or less than old texts in our phones?

Why does your ghost follow
Every measured step I take?
Why am I consumed by this
Savage pain each time I wake?
