The After-Effects of Love

It is an unimaginably agonizing feeling, the aftereffects of love.
A shattered life of what once used to be paradise
A hurricane of what once used to be a peaceful sight
These memories stay locked, disabling me from shoving them off my mind

And life and death just isn't how it used to be
Where death is now heaven and life is hell to see
And no matter how hard you try, you just can't die
And love twists your mind into insanity and beyone.

And so, my dreams are contaminated with haunting nightmares
Of isolation and deprivation of comfort and warmth, and no one's there
To fend off my troubles and fears, and so cruel is torture
Causing tears of pain to burn my worthless heart, pain more painful than I can endure

Killing me slower than death ever could
And more agonizing than pain ever should.
Clutching my heart, I walk these deserted, haunted grounds
Hoping for a sight of death to crawl upon the surface, waiting to be found.

As I said, it is an unimaginably agonizing feeling, the aftereffects of love.
