A sense of betrayal finds you insane Moments of silence will bind with the pain Confusion begets the loss of your dreams Tears flow from the eyes in upwelling streams Spinning the mind as the world turns colder As a long, blank stare comes to wash over The distant sound of goodbye is blurred Where nothing is seen and nothing is heard Over it plays as each word is recalled The days become longer, darker, and raw The heart becomes a vessel that's shattered As bits and pieces cry stripped and tattered Loneliness renders a season lived through In a spiraling cloud of residue That claims the light as you wander alone The roots of despair grow into the bone Feeding the dark bane of your tomorrow And will cling to the flesh of your sorrow Nothing is real but the pain in your core Whatever love was, it will be no more
