The sun sets in the west,
I sit and stare with open wounds,
The tears fall silently to my chest,
The chains that bind have no sound...

The waves of my spirit crash,
Like the receding of the tides,
My heart burns and thrashes,
Where the pain runs and hides...

I numb my soul with pain,
The flames of my spirit burning out,
I lie awake with tear stains,
That fill my head with doubt...

My heart is chained like weeds to a rose,
Suffocating my chest with ache and darkness,
You walk away and your door closed,
Searing the burn deep with silence...

I watch my life fall apart,
I see you vanish within my dreams,
Wishing we could go back to the start,
And take back the words I did not mean...

You say, "I love you",
But forgiveness is not in your words,
You preach but will not do,
Even when I wont be heard...

The very thought of you makes my heart ache,
I search your soul and see no sympathy,
Our love should have been give and take,
And yet you fail to show love or empathy...

Time has no break,
It slows with the beating of my heart,
The yearn, the pain has no stake,
I wish I had known your love was conditional from the
start...

I sit and wait until you return,
Dreaming one day you will see the error of humanity,
My heart, my spirit for you I yearn,
In hopes one day you can forgive me... ...
