I stare at an empty computer screen
Where my words are supposed to be
You left me there speechless
You left me there no longer fearless
And when I finally started to find my words
A happier me I was looking for
Then you swooped in and pulled me back
You were always good with sneak attacks
Many days weeks and months have passed by
And I still can’t say I’m doing alright
My life is constantly going up and down
The only expression my face makes is a frown
Why do you insist on playing with my heart
Like it is yours to break apart
You’ve already broken me before
And now you’re coming back to break me some more
My heart is shattering, falling apart
Can it really still be called a heart?
One step forward, three steps back
Why does my life always have to be like that?
Nails are hammered into my chest
That’s where the painful memories won’t go to rest
It seems like for me there is no help
Maybe it’s time to distance myself
I know I’m not the only one trying to push through
I know some one’s going through this too
I can explain exactly how they feel
Everything that happens is so unreal
It’s when your whole world comes crashing down
When you fill your lungs to scream but out comes no sound
The gasps of painful air you take in
The tears that roll down your chin
The memories that flash in and out of your mind
The memories that always seem to make you cry
Rolling down a steep hill, wishing to stop
Even as you try, you can’t climb back to the top
Trying so hard to glue your life back together
But no glue can last forever
You find yourself wanting to walk away
From this pain, called a heart break
You didn’t know pain could be like this
You didn’t know a horrible ending would come from one kiss
There’re so many things that can make you afraid
Of what could happen the next day
How are you going to make it tomorrow?
When today was filled with so much sorrow
Each breath you take, reminds you of the air he used to breathe
But you can’t bury you pain underneath
Even as you try to cry away your pain
You can’t wash it away with the rain
You will never forget that time
When you could still say “Your heart is mine”
It was my heart I was trying to guard
So I built my house of cards
But soon I learned that house wasn’t strong enough
And my heart broke because of fake love
But soon we’re all going to have to learn
To keep fighting even when life takes a wrong turn
Breath after breath, day after day
Life is slowly ticking away
So don’t live hiding behind a wall
That can’t be called living at all
Sometimes life doesn’t go your way
But you can’t just up and run away
Even you find yourself hitting rock bottom
Wondering what you did wrong
Even if your life is a complete wreck
Just stop and Take a Breath
