Unhappily Ever After
So confused----nothing feels right but wrong
All I've dealt with for so long
Has blurred in with every sad thing else there is to see
I don't know what to do....
I'm at a loss for everything
including you
Long, long ago
I thought you made me for one
Now others knock at heart's door........
They will go unanswered
Alone in the cold of the dark
With all their own little broken hearts
They wait for what will never be; to hold my hand and be with me
And their burdens too are more than I can bear
One sweet face
Is blood stain painted into my soul
His addictive voice
Resonates throughout my core
I hear him crying
I hear him screaming
I see him falling
With him I'll always be crying
Hoarsely, wretchedly screaming
Reaching out into the dark for him
but feeling nothing
This pain will never fit inside
The grief has grown too much for me to hide
Mourning for the dreams in me that died
Anguish for a man who's dead to me
but still alive
One big happy carnival of sorrow
That love will never fix
Nor will tomorrow
Mindless, mutilated hearts
Condemned to crimson drench the earth
wherever we stagger
Miserably alone....
Unhappily ever after.
