Why Does it Hurt?
It rained for days,
After you left me
As if the sky itself,
Shared my grief
The raindrops fell,
Trailing down the window
And in that very sight,
My reflection was found
I feel the pain,
Deep down in my chest
It’s a pain that can’t be healed,
And I’m feeling the effects
When trust is gone,
And hope is lost
What are we fighting for?
And who really pays the cost?
I wear a mask,
From day to day
And try to cope,
When I hear you say:
“I’m sorry, just friends,
And nothing more”
But you forget how you threw,
My heart upon the floor!
And all the pain and shame,
I went through just for this
Longing and waiting,
To feel your sweet kiss
But now I know,
That it was all just a lie
And you’ve left me alone,
Watching me die
Those three words you whispered,
You made me believe
But your harsh words cut through me,
And I came back to reality
You say you were trying,
To make things work out
But there was just no spark anymore,
We had let it die out
I hide in the shadows,
Trying to forget
When I first fell in love with you,
The day we first met
There’s now a hole in
That no one can fill
Within my heart,
…But I love you still
