Sorrows lace

Smiling softly as rejection sinks in
No one will know when the pain begins
Laugh and make jokes as if without a care
Two daggers in my heart, what a fit pair

In a stupor I walk, a smile plastered on
Funny how you said in my arms is where you belong
Leave me alone now, don’t think of coming back
I’ll keep this knife as a reminder, add it to my stack

Trusted my heart to someone untrue
Fooled into believing you loved me too
Waiting around for this nightmare to be over
Wake up at night, eyes bleeding under the cover

Funny how much my heart still calls you
Everyday is so bleak, pain born anew
Look at me and see just what you have done
With this one act our future is undone

I never learned anything easy, this was no exception
Love is blind even to rejection
I played to close to the fire, left blinded by the light
Heart shattered by your absence, no more energy left to fight

There’s no more nock nock, the door goes unanswered
Pound your fist bloody, lessons are finally learned
My dull eyes, no longer look upon your face
Sew the heart ache in with sorrows lace
