Broken...

Alone...

Broken...

I’ve cried so much.

And yet somehow,

I know that everything will be okay.

~

My heart feels broken.

My soul ripped in two.

Nothing will compare to the time we shared.

Nothing will replace your place in my heart.

~

I think I died that day,

After we talked,

It felt like my world had ended.

Is this what my existence will feel like now?

Empty? Lonely? Afraid?

~

I didn’t think my pain could grow worse.

I didn’t think this would hurt more than before.

But it does.

~

I just want to fill loved.

Cared for.

I don’t want to hurt anymore.

I don’t want to cry anymore.

~

I’ve given so much.

And it feels like you’ve taken from me.

It feels like I’m dying inside.

Waiting on you.
