Seclusion

Awake, alone, combating my thoughts
Silence invades as my mind only rots
I attempt to resist; you still find a way
The piece of my heart which as yet to decay

I've lost so much time, I beg and I plead
I try to let go through the blood that I bleed
My efforts are useless and without success
I value the time when it seems to be less

I get by with the damage inflicted each day
My own destruction rips the beauty away
I adored your everything, no matter the flaw
I loved you so much and everyone saw

Alone I linger, and the minute grows slow
Words have failed and no one will know
My trust is seldom and often betrayed
My heart is big but too easily played

The tears sting as they plunge to the floor
The story I tell is for you to ignore
I don't want pity, I don't want shame
I only want to destroy what became

I suffer with diligence, the fault is my own
The life I lead is what I've been shown
I'll never erase you, I can't and it's true
Even my spite can't live without you...
