Just Another Tarnished Pearl

Can't find words powerful enough
for these feelings deep inside.
No matter how I try to suppress them
they come back and won't subside.

This mistake I made can't be undone,
I know it is my fault.
Walking down the path I chose
brought my life to a sudden halt.

Alone with thoughts of sadness,
anger and pain is all I feel.
Not even in sleep can I escape these emotions
for they now are truly real.

Never thought that it would end this way,
never thought I'd be that girl.
I was once a sparkling diamond
who is now just another tarnished pearl.

Even so I still feel love,
why this is, I do not know.
Still focusing on good times passed
experienced such a short while ago.

Through all that's happened, still wanting to be held
in the arms I thought I knew so well.
He's probably given up already,
leaving me here to dwell.

If it‘s true love,
he'll be the man (I thought he was) and take a stand.
Right now there's nothing I can do
because things are out of my hands.

Can't deal with this horrible pain,
don't want to love him anymore.
Sadly that is not an option,
for a shattered heart there is no cure.
