EVERY ONE LEAVES ME BEHIND






Every One Leaves Me Behind




Constant, perpetually, always
Words that describe my grief
And bitterest sorrow

Words that rake across my heart
Like ice cold wind
On a howling December dawn

I hate those words
I hate the way the meanings changed
When all the love left my world

I hate the way my soul broke
And memories became torture devices
Instead of sunny days

Eternally, everlasting, evermore
Words that use to be valentine cards
And not a diagnosis of my pain

Words that fill me with despair
And not the joy they once did
When I knew what joy could be

I hate the way my head hurts
When I think of everlasting agony
Without a hand to soothe my brow

I hate it.  I hate it!  I hate this...........
Loneliness without end and
Days filled up with emptiness

Nothing means anything anymore
Not even nothing
When there used to be nothing that I wouldn't
Do for love

Now there's no love to do anything for
Not in my life, not in my mind
Love has departed holding hands with hope
Perpetually slamming it's door in my face......

Gone where all the good things go
Things I never could hold on to
Even if I found them outside of a dream
Whether it's true or just in my mind........
Everyone leaves me behind.
