The Shell

I remember the very last smile.
I'll never forget that final kiss.
As the memories of your love,
Overwhelm me in pure bliss.

I close my tear-filled eyes,
Letting out a deep sigh.
You filled me from inside,
My heart, it can't deny.

Driven apart by endless roads,
I never did falter.
But when you said goodbye,
My body felt much colder.

I dare not sway from my path,
Nor love any other.
Because the love I held for you,
Was not like another.

At night I cry alone,
Here in my empty bed,
With these suicidal thoughts,
Lingering in my head.

I called you late one night,
With a pathetic trembling tone,
And when I heard her voice beside you,
I knew you weren't alone.

As I heaved the phone at wall,
I collapsed to my knees.
And tears, sorrow and hatred,
Slowly engulfed me.

Bitter became I,
Like icy, fresh snow.
And I buried that pain,
So very deep below.

How stupid was I
To think that you cared?
To think that our passion,
Could never be shared?

To this day I am alone,
In this bitter cold Hell,
All this because of you,
Because of you, I'm a shell.
