I carry the pain you have left me with,
In my eyes and in my soul.
I wonder if that hole will always remain.
How could I have been so blind,
Why did I trust my heart?
I fell so deeply in love with you,
I knew it could not be real.
Now this pain is constant,
Never ending.
Every night and day,
I walk with it in me.
Did you know the chaos you were leaving.
Did you know you would still remain,
Always being, and never ending?
I held a rose within my mouth.
The thorns they ripped my lips.
Now this signifies what you have left,
The hole deep within me.
