The Day After

People stand by to stop and stare,
i ignore them as if they were never there.
Tears flood my eyes as I try to hide,
the broken pain my heart is feeling inside.
No matter how hard I try I can't seem to smile,
knowing me it will be this way for awhile.
Twisted and Torn I am completely numb,
I can't wipe my eyes fast enough as the tears continue to come.
The seconds pass like minutes, minutes pass like hours,
and hours pass like forever, I always thought that would be ours.
He was f*****g perfect to me, one of a kind,
"you need someone better"...ha, there's not one I will find.
I knew it was only a matter of time,
before I lost everything I knew as mine.
It may take awhile to pick up the pieces of my shattered,
torn up, broken heart left so battered.
We used to sing "I'm Yours" in the car,
never before has he felt so far.
I suck it up and hold back the tears in my eyes,
friends ask if I am okay, I just tell them lies.
I've always preferred to suffer in silence,
shrinking away in fear from the nightmare violence.
