35 and Alone
35 and alone.
I never thought that statement would apply to me.
Tears in my eyes each night as I will myself to sleep.
Broken promises and shattered dreams line the corridors of my mind.
Anger and betrayal fill the voids left in my heart.
What do I do with all these pieces? How do I put them back together? Where do I start?
All I've done to get me to where I am has been for nothing.
Everything I built has been taken away.
I've wasted so many years swallowing my pride just to end up being betrayed.
Bitter? Yeah maybe just a bit.
Scared of what the future holds?
Yeah, that's the real ****.
