Coffin Of Sorrow

Wasted years of my deception tears away at my heart.
I look back on the memories and wish I didn’t part.
On the outside looking in, it looks like a world of happiness.
But living in the present just feels like a tunnel of abyss.

Sorrow settles deep within the wounds of my soul.
My screams drown out as I begin to fall down the hole.
Emptiness is the only reason left to my fainted smile.
I just wish that I could restart and live happy for awhile.

But my pain overtakes my weary conscious in and out.
Your deafened ears block me out when I make my shout.
Calling for your aid when I feel as if I am a lonely stone.
The pendulum swings my life away as I stand on my own.

How much longer can I bear this weight of your disappointment?
Which path after I depart this cruel world will I be sent?
The answers are never clear and sometimes never appear.
But I do know that I am not able to shed another false tear.

I’ve given up on all false hope that my lonely heart can muster.
Tomorrow was just another day to try for happiness with her.
But love has proven untrustworthy in this hour of dismay.
So in this coffin of sorrow forever is where I will lay.
