Crushed Concrete

Living in grief is killing me I spend my life trying to fill the huge hole you left When you walked away And it's even harder now Because you said it would never be over You promised me that But it is over The promise was empty I remember how you built me up so well And now I know you tear things down just as easily I still love you, and harbor no hatred or regrets But I just want to know why I'm not allowed to let you go I don't want to, but I need to You were supposedly just a person But I have a hard time believing that You were an angel my life. You were my reason for living And since you left, I haven't been able to find a consistent reason to keep going You were my concrete My glue Without you, I fall to pieces Will I ever have normalcy again? Everything reminds me of you So there's nowhere to go To get away from your memory You walk my dreams And mingle with my thoughts There is no happy place.
