Rupture

The bubble has burst
Can’t quench my thirst
Can’t get you out of my head
My heart sinks, heavy as lead

I thought I could depend on you
Thought you’d always be there
My tears are my ocean
Taking me God knows where

Many worried faces looking back at me
So many helping hands and none can see
The anguish burning me away
My nightmarish nights and each horrific day

Search your souls for that essence of old
Look through the alleys the way you’ve been told
The ice is etching my fears anew
Tell me; promise me you don’t feel it too

I forgot to tie my string to mark the corners
I’m getting pushed back to join the mourners
For all my life has been taken far
I’m left longing for a new, brighter star

Someone must guide me through the rest of my life
Take away the sorrow, anger, strife
Release me my pains; take back my knife
And run

For I would chase you hard
Keep searching for every lost shard
As you snatch away all I have gained
When my heart explodes, unexplained
