The stillness of the night reeks havoc in my head,
The stench of emptiness arouses nausea and conscious dread,
I seem to wait an eternity till morning creeps into my window,
And yet the sunlight only causes to burn me through and through,
I fear morning because it reminds me of the day I watched you leave,
I fear night because I drown in shadows and darkness is my only friend.
I said 'it's over', you said 'it's mutual', but it was just a lie,
You said 'goodbye', I said '…forever' and didn't want you to see me cry,
I held my breath, until my heartbeat ceased for a few painful seconds,
That felt like centuries, and I dropped to my knees the moment you were gone,
I prayed for strength, I prayed for comfort, I prayed to be set free,
But you had me chained to a past that begot a chain of misery…
