It hurts to put on this statuesque display

To conceal my heart beating out of my chest

My blood pressure rising

I pretend that it’s no sweat

I want to jump into your arms

Yet you are not there to catch me anymore

Such a chore to give this stoney face to the one I used to adore

We used to whisper sweet nothings

Now there’s nothing left

No one to console

As I timidly approach

..looking deep into your eyes

I now see how far we have grown

There is a deeper darkness lingering

An emptiness eating slowly away

A melancholy aura beneath a hovering grey cloud

The mood ominous, all encompassing

.. but the intentions a mysterious shroud

Stealing every moment’s pleasure…

Leaving me unable to transcend

A frightening blow in the spiritual realm
