Chained To Me

Five years with out you here i don't think i can stand five more this pain in my heart keeps 
getting larger i carry it with me everywhere i go its chained to every part of my heart and 
soul and these chains wont let go they follow me no matter where i go they weigh me down 
with a burden that only i can carry upon my shoulders for its the curse that i live with each 
and everyday my world was torn in two the day i lost all of you i still live my life here 
everyday but its just not the same with out all of you here by my side the days seem hollow 
and empty inside like time has eaten a hole through my insides devouring me whole

Wow, this really hits deep, the way you describe the chains around your heart felt so real and intense. Loved how raw and honest it all feels. Thanks for sharing that heavy emotion so openly.
