Like All The Rest
My heart is numbed by pain,
and can't feel another thing.
Devastated by your betrayal,
I'm left reeling from the sting.
It's like you grabbed my heart,
and ripped it from my chest.
For as reality unfolds,
you're just like all the rest.
I wish on a shooting star,
that I might yet still awake.
And escape this nightmare dream,
for it's more than I can take.
Sadness saturates my heart,
like a shroud that smothers me.
And entombed in its silence,
thoughts of love just cease to be.
