Unclean
The words cut deep
Like an earthquake
Carving a ragged ravine through my soul
" It's over " she screams
Tearing my heart out seam by seam
Nothing left inside but a hollow hole
Where a vibrant love once did reside.
Now the need for a rock to crawl under
A desparate need to hide
Away from destroyed hopes and crumbling dreams
This barren shell is no place to dwell
For a soul who cherishes love
More than your created hell
Leaving me unclean, tucked away unseen
Just another lover has-been
Broken and ashamed, just myself to blame
I lock myself away, away with the pain
Wondering if I can ever go outside again
To show my face disgraced
And a heart misplaced
Maybe it's time to vanish
Without a trace.
