New Moon

Another tear that stings the wound
You made that never healed
The time decays unmeasurable
And I keep it concealed

You ripped a hole deep in my chest
Somehow I stayed alive
But if this happens once again
I know I won't survive

The words you said, the venom forth
The trust and heart you broke
The whole world died, my soul inside
With every word you spoke

I couldn't think, I couldn't stand
I couldn't even breathe
When you stood right in front of me
And said that you would leave

And that I couldn't come with you
You would leave me behind
You said it all so lightly though
As if I wouldn't mind

The world collapsed and so did I
You're gone without a trace
But oh, the things that I would do
To look upon your face

To die, go to the pearly whites
Is not a sight I'll see
'Cos heaven isn't heaven
Without you right next to me

So here I sit and write and wait
Just wait for you and mourn
Another lonely midnight
And a solitary dawn
