Fictitious Solace

My aching body screams in anguish
Searching for the solace that can never be found

Alone in my room I hide away
I’m hiding from humanity

I’m hiding from lies and empty promises
From my longing and deceitfulness
But most of all…I’m hiding from the truth

Vile tears stain my face
The mask is peeled away

Am I really alone now?

I can’t think or even breathe
I just want this to end

No

I just need this to end

I’ve lost the person I cared most about
And now I’m loosing myself

My wound is still raw and though it may heal
The scar will never fade

Because every time the wound does heal
It’s torn back open to bleed again

Still I cross my heart and listen to it beat
In hoping you’ll do the same

I cry out your name but no one hears
And I lay drenched in this heartless abandonment
