My throat is a desert,
Scratched sore with sand.
My cheeks soaked and stained,
With tears that will not end.
My heart faintly beating,
Each pump proves a test.
It hurts to go on living,
Yet life continues in my chest.
My nights are sleepless,
My days a misty haze.
I feel so lost without you,
Each day an endless maze.
I search for all the words,
Though never even said.
They are mixed and jumbled,
All around inside my head.
Each day I face this war,
Between remember and forget.
It weighs me down, this endless chore,
I wake each morning with regret.
They say time is the only way to heal,
Fresh cuts soon fade to scars.
So why does this pain I feel,
Still leave me dizzy, seeing stars.
