She whispered I love you but he was already gone

The wind whispers in my ear and I pray it’s you telling me it will all be right.

My voice it disappears. I’m losing my will to sing and I’m scared. What else am I good at?
I’ve never dreamt this could happen. I fight a battle already lost. Hope keeps bypassing me for you.
It seems dark but the sun shines through molten clouds.
I croak out a tune and hold my throat.

“Bite your tongue,” I want to scream but pray instead, making the air around solemn and sacred.
You touch my hands and flinch because they’re as cold and hard as ice.
My lips are blue and yet they hunger for you. Breathe life back into me to see the sun shine through the darkest clouds.

I know in my heart of hearts that you never meant it. You’re incapable of causing pain, I know.
Time has come and time has gone, so thank you for the memories, enjoy life and have fun.
I scream but my mouth remains closed because missing you is not an option anymore.
I think it takes guts to call it quits. I’m quitting you!

The gravity of it all just hit.
There’s a space where your heart used to beat in unison with mine. There’s a hole where my heart is… used to be…

Behind the curtain I change becoming the ugly moth once again. The clocks struck twelve, so I test my tired wings. No more butterflies and princes for me, just the dull thudding of drums in my head and angels voices in my ears.

Love hurts, everybody says so. I guess that’s why I’ve never allowed myself to dabble in it fully, always afraid of the pain. I guess I’m sick and tired of the fear, I want to feel the pain at least when it’s all over I could say I Have Loved. It might just be with the tiniest part of my heart or with every ounce of my soul but it will be love.

I’m on fire like a barroom burning to the ground.
If I die in my sleep just know that’s the reason why.

I want to continue the search for love. But my wings are tired and my eyes droopy, I think it’s time to rest. My jetlag is now permanent.

The wind whispers in my ear and I pray it is you telling me it will all be right.
