I can’t avoid looking at it,
Looking the void in your eyes.
It used to be sunshine,
Now it’s all empty skies.
Frightened to see there are tears that are yet to be cried.
It’s your voice I’m still following, though courage should lead me otherwise.
In my voice I hear every promise you’ve made,
Every hope that this time things would finally change.
Your heart pumping nothing while mine is all rage.
I stare at the sorrow wondering if it’s just a phase.
Your smell that once made me give up everything I am, now makes me feel like it was all a scam.
Everyday that goes by, pain seems further away than where it was,
Was I just an escape? An excuse for you to jump ahead from what life brought your way?
