I Let a Lover Become My Vice

Always plucking away one by one the seams that construct my well-being and when everything spells out, you run and hide
Like a tornado ransacking my soul, slowly wiping me out, deleting my existence
The impact from the collision left my pieces thrown all around
But your light blinded my eyes and I cannot see to pick them up...
Lately the air feels too thick to breathe in
You're gone and I'm stranded at an empty but lively circus
The echoes of your screams and the echoes of my cries 
I cannot make this ing pain diminish
