Wash Away
Praying for the pain to wash away,
My broken heart feeling more and more cliche.
Your empty promises and blatant lies
Left me in bed with weeping cries.
I toss and turn but cannot sleep.
My dog cuddles up as she hears me weep.
My stomach turns as my heart drops.
What I would give to make this pain stop.
If only the pain could wash away.
