The words stay in your head,
Way after they're gone,
Finding yourself fighting,
Everytime you're on your own,
The bruises faded,
But did they ever really leave?
When even with clear arms,
You're pulling at your sleeves.
You chased down someone
More than twice your speed,
To get half of the love
You know you crave and need.
But what were you really chasing?
Slammed doors and broken windows,
Shaking even in their arms,
Like a dead tree when the wind blows,
Now they've left you broken,
Even after months of healing,
You're not really there,
Taking breaths but not breathing,
Not scared of the dark,
But rather what's inside,
Because even in an empty bed,
You turn away to hide,
Its still living inside you,
The phantom that they left behind,
Just because your body has healed,
Doesn't mean your head is fine,
So you'll scream from someone who's not there,
In the middle of the darkness,
But still try to be loving,
Being Heartbroken won't make me Heartless...
