How Could You

Your  arms were my castle 
Your words were my battle 
But in a twinkle of an eye 
You said goodbye

Now it's a million degrees below zer in my blood
It's like lm buried 50 feet underground
I'm drawing in my own world of loneliness
And in my thoughts of sadness

You left isolated and deserted 
Now lm feeling rejected
My life has turned into an unending highway
In whose days are a nightmare
My heart is bleeding in silent tears 
And just like my heart 
My life is shattered into a thousand pieces

The silence of your laugh 
The sudden vanishing of your face
The absence of your dance
And the muteness of your voice
Is slowly killing me

I walk in the empty streets with shattered dreams
I lie awake to miss you with unfulfilled wishes
I eat daily with everlasting regrets
Although with a hallowed place in my heart
Only you can fill 
I say back off loneliness
And hello tenderness

The Moment

There is a moment when you feel all is gone
All hope lost
That moment when you feel abandoned and rejected 
The same moment when you feel life being taken out of you
That crazy moment when you feel like commiting suicide
The very moment when you feel your heart bleeding in silent tears
The moment when you feel so in the dark
The moment is simply LIFE
Life is PAIN
