Ruins

My soul is in ruins, in utter despair, at the thought of you.
I may smile, though the smile doesn't reach my eyes,
And between fake smiles, I shatter, wordlessly,
My soul breaking into a thousand shards of glass...
Cutting my skin, slicing my veins, and making me bleed to death.

Every person entering the building could be you,
Though I know very well you're not around anymore..
And I wonder, darling, what I must have done
To deserve such a bitter fate, you left me...
Alone, confused, hurt, and my soul shattered in me.

My soul is in darkness, submerged, miserable,
And no light in the world could keep this pain away,
For when no one's around, and the moon is hidden,
My demons take hold and whisper "Behold, this is
What has become of you."

My soul is in ruins, in utter despair, at the thought of you,
And no light in the world could clear the fog in my head...
For as long as I crave you, to taste you and touch you,
I will never not be begging for mercy, "Come, clear
The darkness away..."
