I replay the cold goodbye in my mind
spoken in harsh tones
from the same lips that once said
"I love you"
over and over in a relentless circle
causing all the stars to vanish
as the night becomes blacker than black
tendrils of slithering loneliness
wrap around my heart suffocating me
with pain-filled emotions
as they die one layer at a time
drowning my soul in teardrops of madness
long streams from raw eyes
turn my face into a wetter canvas
it burns and burns
my hearts shattered shards are covered in ashes
that cling
I fall, pounding my fists into the ground
crying out in this world of darkness
nothing exists
the only sound I hear is my own gasps
welling up in my chest, releasing into the void
where I surrender to the longest night
filled with pain
