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.
