Where were you
When it all came crashing down,
When my world fell to ruins
Beneath worn feet?
When my heart clenched, like the torn muscle that it is
I waited
You never came.
I couldn’t breath a painless breath,
I couldn’t feel past this numbness
I had learned to feel after so much pain,
The numbness I had succumbed to in a solemn defeat.
You weren’t there to save me from myself,
Even though you had promised
You would be.
Where were you?
