Blindsided

My stomach sinks, my heart has stopped,
my eyes go wide, my jaw it drops.

The tears stream down, I whisper no
A panicked denial blankets me like snow.

I'm barely breathing, laying on the floor.
I cry that night, like never before.

What did I do wrong? Why couldn't I make him stay?
What happened to 'I love you'? Why'd he run away?

Every time I close my eyes his face is all I see
and in the silence his voice grows loud, he won't stop haunting me.

I can't do this anymore, my heart just isn't that tough.
All it does is ask me why we weren't good enough.
