Torn Inside

Torn Inside

Everybody just wants love,
But I don’t want to be anyone.
Love can lave you high and dry,
The words just never come easy
But the let down does.
As my dream dies,
Here on sweltering pavement
Choking on its own disguise,
I write these simple words
To let you know you’re not alone,
No one’s ever really alone.
But yet again I know my words ring empty,
And my tears are the only truth
That’s left beating in our hearts.
Because this thing between us,
Has been going downhill for so long,
Ever since the day you kissed my cheek
And said we were “together”.
So I guess everything I hoped for
Is now everything I’ve lost,
Cuz the one thing that I wanted
Is the one thing that causes me pain.
