What do you say when the love of your life walks away
Especially after you showed them the way, told them not to stay,
To be on their way, love tossed like a coin into the air
Calling heads or tails as love falls helplessly towards the ground
Its impact felt like a slam to the chest, deep regret
Now a shadow figure seen by the light of the moon
As I lie at night in tear-laden sheets, silent…
Afraid to make a peep for fear of being found alone
I atone for the mistakes I made as my mind replays
Night surrounds, holding me together
As threads of emotion unravel me apart.
