Lifeless

The earth cuts through my feet
as i walk down the road I've chosen
and the air threatens my throat
I can hardly breathe, because all I taste is poison

I no longer look behind
nor do i dare to turn back
there's memories and pain that linger their
so the past doesn't need to be unpacked

All the lies and the hurt
that have settled in my heart
I can no longer hide or control it
so i'm just slowly falling apart

With no strength left to run
and no tears left to cry
my legs give out and I fall
and i'm just left staring at the sky

So how is someone supposed to love this
this lifeless person I've become
if all my strings have snapped
and there's no feelings left to strum?
