It cut deep and it cut raw
Pulled my heart right out of my chest
And squeezed with all your strength
I chocked on my tears and stammered in anguish
The sobs were unstoppable
And the more I wiped the tears
The more they kept on rolling
Till I was drenched in their salty bitterness
And there were no more tears left to dry
Till all that was left was a deafening silence
And a hollow aching deep in my chest
Where my heart once lay fortified
Now a mangled wreckage of defeat and concession
Till the peaceful nothingness of sleep
Came and dulled the pain
Albeit a temporary alleviation
But a welcome reprieve
