I see him all day then he goes away
The most wonderful time, please stay with me
Every Time he goes I say don't dismay
But as soon as he walks, I want to plea

But pleading is pointless, he doesn't care
This is all an act he has created
What he does is too much for my heart to bear
The feelings I had haven't faded

At this moment I don't want to feel
The numbness is better than the pain
God has finally found my Achilles heel
I think I might collapse from all the strain

I hope that in time I will move on
Just waiting for the moments before Dawn

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
