The Break Up

The shock
The pain
Knowing it was coming
Yet unable to prepare
Those words that cut
Deeper than any blade can reach
Faster than any bullet
Short and sweet
Memories lose their life
Their color
Becoming things of the past
A pain that hurts
Hurts so much
Tears can't be shed
To become a cold person
A monolith of the torture
Weakened at the knees by that feeling
And speared through by those words
Yet forced to remaining standing
In the face of adversity
The final test
To hold and triumph
To move on and continue
To grow stronger from it all
And defy the human nature
To bend, but not break
To walk, but not stumble
To watch, but not turn away
To live, but not die
To destroy the flesh
To destroy the emotions
To destroy the feelings
To change
To grow
To become stronger
To become made of metal
To become made of stone
To become made.....of things that dont feel
To lock it all up
And move on
Down that path
That lies in the valley of the rising mountains
Towards the setting sun
With a hope
That things will be better again
