Life Ends

It’s a memory I still can’t forget,
It just won’t seem to go away
Locked in my mind,
The thought grows stronger day by day

Of all the occurring nightmares,
This one petrifies me
Burning through my soul,
Waiting for someone to see

Waking up in tears,
Breathing heavily
Wondering if anyone noticed or
Even thought about me

Realizing nobody cares
If I live or die
So when I hold my life at hand
You can see why I cry

I don’t mind being alone
Or having no one there
Its that after you were here for me
My heart just seems to tear

I’ve seen what happiness feels like
What it’s like to be cared for
Now that I don’t have it
I can’t bear life anymore

What am I without you?
Life is darkened and pointless
Nothing to look forward to
Since nobody can care less

So when I hold your picture
And see my so-called friends
Telling me to get over it
Not knowing without you my life ends
