Cancer

The tears, they keep streaming
my heartbreak keeps eating
away at my soul
nobody can get me
my heart is so empty
she left me all alone
I’m desperately pleading
and desperately needing
for my heart to start beating again
once again
my world’s a cyclone
I watch as my mind’s thrown
into a brick wall
I’m living in bedlam
I’m not sure if I can
get myself out
I’m losing who I am
I’m just so uncertain
of who I am now
I’m thinking in questions
and finding no answers
They’re spreading like cancer
Why can’t I forget her?
Why don’t I know how?
I wish there was something
that could just erase this
abyss I’m stuck in
I wish there was something
that could just replace this
and help me embrace 
this life once again
