I stare at the four white walls
Littered with pictures of you
My eyes scan across the room
More constant reminders of you
Of promises broken
I begin to cower
To the blinding ache inside
Hearing your sweet voice
The words of love you swore to me
My heart cries with sorrow and regret
I am alone and humiliated
Embarrassed for letting myself fall
For letting myself believe in your falsehoods
I lay in this empty cold bed
Curled in a ball
Praying for numbness to ease the pain.
Hoping for the sleep I know will not come.

Rose I really felt the pain in that one. It was way too familiar. Excellent work.
