Crushed Concrete
Living in grief is killing me
I spend my life trying to fill the huge hole you left
When you walked away
And it's even harder now
Because you said it would never be over
You promised me that
But it is over
The promise was empty
I remember how you built me up so well
And now I know you tear things down just as easily
I still love you, and harbor no hatred or regrets
But I just want to know why I'm not allowed to let you go
I don't want to, but I need to
You were supposedly just a person
But I have a hard time believing that
You were an angel
my life.
You were my reason for living
And since you left, I haven't been able to find a consistent reason to keep going
You were my concrete
My glue
Without you, I fall to pieces
Will I ever have normalcy again?
Everything reminds me of you
So there's nowhere to go
To get away from your memory
You walk my dreams
And mingle with my thoughts
There is no happy place.
