When you look at my face
a smile is all you will see
Good friends from passionate lovers
is what we turned out to be

Stifling the choking sobs
rising in my aching chest
Unshed tears blurring my sight
longing for your tender caress

Never will you know the pain
buried deep within my broken soul
The void where my heart used to be
will forever be a darkened hole

My screams of anguish and grief
echo here in my personal hell
Wanting to know why and how
where it is with us that I failed

Never again to kiss your sweet lips
or breathe in the scent of your skin
I have lost my light and my spirit
knowing I will never have you again

I face the rising burning sun
dreading another lonely day
Pasting a false smile on my lips
preparing to play my part of the game

As I loosen my grip to set you free
swollen tears flow down my face
Burrowing deeper into my darkness
I am cold in broken loves embrace
