Crashing World

Why was I so stupid as to believe, 
That I was deserving of your love,
Or anyone’s? Sanity is what I cleave,
As my world crashes all around me.

How I yearn to lament and wail,
But the world does not stop
Just because I am in Hell.
Though tears do come and go.

I find myself barely holding on,
I can barely even breathe,
I try to see the life we set upon,
And I find that I cannot see

I just want to curl up and die, 
As this pain is so surreal.
I can’t believe I fell for the lie
That I am worthy of love.

I gave you so much more of me
Than I ever gave anyone.
I just can’t fathom how this can be
Happening all over again.

Only a few hours since a kiss
Was given, and even now 
It is something I truly miss.
It was a promise of your love.

I know things look extremely bleak
I know I can forgive you eventually,
That is if forgiveness is what you seek,
And work on fixing us,

I am doing the best I can
Not to completely fall apart.
However, my emotional span
Is moving all over the place.
