My stomach is turning, my lungs are compressing, my heart is torn in two.
Thoughts of love, thoughts of us, crushed because of you.
I gave my all, I gave my best, I gave everything I could spare.
What I could give was so far from enough, it ended with pain and despair.
Beautiful letters and gifts are ablaze, until every memory fades.
I'm down on my knees, for the first time I pray for this pain to wither away.
The words I expressed, every syllable wasted, into one ear and out of the next.
Years of my efforts, glue that held us together, not strong enough for the test.
I try to remember what it was like, last time I was buried so deep.
