Nothing is the same

I speak of a broken heart, 

Of love found and then lost, 

Of promises made and then broken, 

Of words spoken and not kept, 

Of trust broken and confidences lost, 

Of dreams dreamt and then shattered.  

We were just kids when we found love, 

Not sure we really knew what we had, 

Or fully comprehend what we were, 

And so we made mistakes in our ignorance, 

Mistakes that drove a wedge between us. 

Now she's gone and she's taken my heart with her, 

And nothing is the same anymore. 

I don't blame her, 

Or even hate her,  

I'm past all that, 

Heck, I'm tired of all that, 

I just want it all to be over. 

I just want my heart back. 

I just want to move one step forward, 

Without taking two accompanying steps backward, 

I just want to heal and move on, 

I just want to get on with my life! 

I want this cavity in my chest to fill up, 

I want to stop soaking my pillows with tears at night, 

But I just seem to fall in deeper, 

And get stuck continously in this cesspool . 

And so even after all this time, 

Nothing is the same, 

My life still lies fallow, 

Inside, I still feel very hollow, 

Everything seems a faded shade of yellow, 

In misery, pain and shame I wallow, 

I have no clue which path to follow. 

How does one recover from a blow like this? 

How does one learn to live again? 

How do I even find my feet? 

How do you mend a broken heart?

How do I get out of this labyrinth? 

How do you solve a problem like this? 

This is an SOS signal, 

I am calling for help, 

Mayday! Mayday!  

I require immediate assistance. 

Hello, is anyone there? 

If you can hear this, 

Please respond ASAP. 

Hello? 

Can anyone hear me? 

Can anyone help me? 

Somebody, 

Anybody, 

Help, 

Please?
