Dieing of Heartbreak

I opened my eyes yesterday, saw the world slowly turn grey.

My feelings disappeared, I had no words left to say.

My mind grows numb with the pain I have held onto.

I know there is no turning back, there is nothing I can do.

I am human, I am bound to make mistakes, daily.

I am perfectly imperfect, that's how your God made me.

If you saw the pain I hold every day....

Would you save me from this torturous pathway?

Every day my heart beats less and slows down.

Then I die of heartbreak, and I fall to the ground.

Will anyone offer me a hand?

Will anyone help me stand?

I need to get back onto my feet again.

But nothing will make this broken heart mend.

Just please, open my eyes, open my eyes.

I need to see the truth and not these lies.

If only you knew how much I loved you.

That even now I still do.

But tomorrow I will open my eyes to clouded imaginary clouds.

And I will continue to live my life, living in only shrouds.

I will lie back down and drown in my dreams.

And I won't even care when my heart bursts at its seams.
