The Only One

You're the only one I want, the only one I need.
I'm in pieces when you're not here.
Staying lost inside these wretched thoughts.
Torn and waiting; dangling from these ropes.
Of which fragile threads threaten to snap, and let me fall, spiraling to the cold hard ground.
Twisting and turning; unwinding the lies.
This disaster unties; revealing the truth of the monster you truly are.

A murderer of love, you've slaughtered my heart, and ripped my soul.
Leaving me broken and bleeding on this solitary road.
Without a light to find my way back home, I'll be lost forever.
So far from the warmth of your embrace.

You're the only one I want, the only one I need.
I so desperately call for you after all this time.
Missing you is like the knife you've forced through me.
I cry for you.
Through my dreams I feel for you beside me.
You've disappeared, so gracefully dismissing me to wander this empty path.
With the missing pieces of those threads,
so small and meaningless now drifting in the wind.

My eyes search for you in the darkness,
My tears fall to the faded grass below,
No hand to hold when these thoughts start to consume me.
When this knife couldn't plunge any deeper into my heart
you tore me from solid ground, taking with you the light that followed.

What once was love is now spread upon this broken trail.
The moon will no longer shine.
Nor will the sunrise when this caliginous tunnel is eternal.
Without you I am nothing; you've walked away amongst the willing.
Awaiting no return, death will find this broken soul and pull me under.
