Sadness Never Expires
Inside my eyes dwell tears of pain
Which flood my sheets with salty rain
Sure, yes I know that I am sane
These memories are locked tight within my brain
Limited thoughts parade around my corroded mind
Happiness lost; I just can’t seem to find
Hurtful images of you are cold and unkind
Suffering, decaying, just leave me behind
Swaying to the dismal loneliness of my breath
Because I know there’s nothing else left
You were my life, but now you are gone
Leaving me frail and forced to move on
I’ve never been so hurt in my life
You took up my hand and sliced my heart with a knife
You struck it so deep; it burns like fire
Bleeding out my pain; my sadness never expires
Never ending torment, I feel alone
Empty with lag; I’m not in the zone
How could you hurt me… Don’t you feel bad?
Watching me squirm and seeing me sad?
Ah what’s the point? You don’t care about me
Look what you’ve done… Can your empty eyes see?
My future is abysmal for crying out loud
I have lost everything for I am not proud
I thought you forgave me; that is what you said
My life is now wasted; I might as well be dead
I can’t go to certain places without thinking of you
It has all been ruined; what else can I do?
Yes I know I miss you, but I wish we never met
I want to just die; so I could just forget
Still this misery has got its grip, pulling me to the floor
Still depressed all the time and rotting at the core
