Consumed

 

I can’t explain the pain I feel

But know that this pain is for real.

I sit here and oh God, it hurts,

Remembering things like the colour of his shirts,

The clothes his wore,

The tattoo he bore.

I ache to the core,

Just feel so raw.

His very presence, his smell, his touch,

Just desperately want it back in my life so much.

All I want is to be alone and die,

Don’t want to think clearly and don’t know why.

Can’t eat or sleep, just want to be free,

Consumed by feelings’ taken over me.

My heart is breaking

Miss our love making

My open wound is gaping

Can’t get over him, I’m shaking.

My heart is broken beyond intensity,

Can’t begin to measure the immensity,

Out of my depth, out of control

Just want to crawl in my own black hole.

I want to hear his voice, want the telephone to ring,

Just want to know if he knows I’m still living

Can’t deal with this new arrangement

Can’t cope with the feelings of estrangement.
