gone

It's so dark
I'm underwater
Trying to breathe
The pressure..
It consumes me
My chest is heavy
My heart is torn
Shredded to pieces
Broken
Shattered
I walked away
For you I smile
For you I laugh
Not one thing is real
Oh, love
Everything just hurts
My head is dark
I can feel myself going
Deep into myself
Retreating from life
Hiding my face
Food doesn't pass my lips
My eyes stay to the ground
Such a pain
I've never felt before
Always the strong one
I never cry
And yet
My cheeks have been wet
With salty drops
Nonstop
I just want to tell you
What's inside
My broken heart
But I can't
Because you're the reason
I cry myself to sleep
Only to wake with nightmares
You're the reason I cry
And reach out
Only to withdraw
You would have understood
But you can't
Because you're gone.
