The Breakup

And so you try
Until you cry
That one who you knew was right
And you explain
And alas in vain
You find that they weren't right. 
Your pain is yours 
Their pain is theirs 
The pain is one 
But never shared.
Bodies stretch 
And flesh is teared
And blood is spilled 
And you're not spared
Because the blackness
In our soul 
Is the fungus all along,
And the reason to keep fighting
Has been spread out all alone.
