Without You

It's so easy to smile online
And say "I'm fine" 
When really I'm falling apart
To a broken heart.

You left me on my own,
A queen dethroned,
None of it makes any sense,
How did we lose innocence?

You promised forever,
Now I can't get it together,
This hole in my heart widens,
As I scream your name to the Heavens.

I miss you every day,
Wish I knew what to say
To make you come back to me,
To make you see.

But I guess this is a lesson learned,
Been broken and burned,
Still I'll rise from the ashes
And sew up these open gashes......

I guess we have all been burned at one time or another Arthur, but your last two lines says it all. One love. Joy Wells Soup Mail!
