Death's Around the Corner

Walking down the street,
Dragging my legs,
My body weak,
Frail,
I feel my heart aching.

Why did you have to
Put me through such pain?
Why did you have to
Steal my heart?
Why did you have to
Make me believe?
God dammit,
Why did you have to lie so well?

You destroyed my hopes,
My dreams.
All I ever wanted
Was to be loved,
To be worth something,
To be good enough.

But you broke my heart,
Laughed at my needs,
Destroyed any belief I had
That Love actually existed;
Any hope that I
Would ever be worthy
Of any affection at all.

And now my heart is bleeding,
Life slowly seeping out.
Death's around the corner -
I'm counting down the days to go,
Before my heart finally stops
And my life suddenly ceases...
