I waited for you to return to me
On the deathly quiet streets
In front of our home
Looking forward to seeing your vehicle
Approaching me on the highway
From a distance

But when every day came
I was highly disappointed
To see you were nowhere around
Still, I didn’t want to lose hope in us
We had been through so much together
We had survived the paralyzing storms
That attempted to end our love
There were many enemies against us
Wishing we’d go our separate ways

And although we tried to dismiss
Those unwanted thoughts from our mind
It seemed like we began breaking apart at the seams
I considered it to be all a dream
But I soon found out it was a chilling scene
Filled to overflowing infuriation
Late-night intoxicating liquor
Shattered, scattered bottles spread
Across the floor, feeling as if I could
Eclipse myself in a million seas of despair
And stare into a shadowed past of downheartedness

I thought we had it all together
But its evident our love wasn’t
Tightly secure as we believed
What we wanted to last forever
Became a crashing wave of chaos
And vast heartbreak that wouldn’t cease
