My Paradise Lost
Lying alone, crying silent tears
as the love I once knew slowly disappears
feeling my heart crumbling in my hands
as the woman I once loved, turning away
all alone in paradise, no friend to turn to
my heartache and sorrow, my only companions
my life slowly becomes meaningless
as it has for so long now
thoughts of death consume me
wanting peace from the pain deep inside
no more tears I will shed
no more love will I feel
My hope is, like her love for me, gone
my happiness, a long lost memory
Heartache after heartache
suffering silently in my hotel bed
knowing the bitter truth
that my heart will never mend
I will die as I have lived, a lonely shadow

Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death.

You may feel like you will die alone now, but you won't if you don't want to!! It's always up to you to make the myths and legends hon, no woman does that, you do!!!

Yes, very depressing. But writing it out helps. Keep writing.
