Silently I Go Insane

Staring out the window pane Silently I go insane Remembering what I try to forget Try so hard but haven’t yet Thoughts of you invade my mind I try to leave the past behind But images engraved in stone Haunt me when I'm all alone This searing endless pain I feel Stabs me with its blade of steel I cannot laugh, I cannot cry Feelings and emotions dry You say forgive; I cannot do Not since I lost all faith in you You cannot stop what has begun You can’t undo what has been done You used, abused, cheated and lied You took my dreams; you took my pride You took my soul; my sanity You took my trust and dignity Honest, faithful, loyal and true Everything I was to you Believing all your thoughtless lies Until I saw through your disguise Now I’m left with pain and sorrow How do I get through tomorrow I know I must forget I cared Forget the love and dreams we shared Forget the man you used to be Remember what my eyes did see Remember all you did so wrong Remember now I must be strong Refuse to play this mental game Or silently, I’ll go insane..
