Mourning Devil

Try not to think
Try not to wonder
This terrible feeling 
That’s pushing me under

Feeding my anger
Eating my soul
Distorting my thoughts
Consuming me whole

It’s headed for my heart
Need a better way to hide
Before it destroys what’s left
Try to shove it aside

Can’t stop the yearning 
I want your whispers in my ear
To hold you in my arms
But that ended when you left me here

Stranded and abandoned
Alone and empty handed
Drowning in this feeling
Far from emotional healing
You’re pulling me down
Tossing me around
Playing my mind
Against my heart this time
