Curse the Day

Once again the night comes
The rare moon rises beyond the trees
And a hidden part of me rears towards it
Howling and screaming in pain
As my heart, once again, falls to pieces.

Oh day how I curse you
For finding the stitching that held me together
And pull by pull until my closed wounds became undone
Until I feel the warmth of blood flow once more
Why won't you stop tormenting me?

Why can't I grow numb
Why can't I let her go
Why must my heart force these tormenting feelings
I would rip you out and burn you if I didn't need you
But I cannot live on stone

My mind curses my heart
Yet my heart has a strong will of its own
It knows not why it loves, just that it does
And the pain of when that love hits silence
Swallowing it up into the darkness

Let me wear my mask today
Turn your eyes away from mine
Let me walk on by with words
Allow me to become numb on this day
A day that carries no warmth for me

Let me pass this day from my memories
And all days like this to meet the same end
Until my heart feels warm again
When the echo becomes a voice
And I see that smile again.

I had a love like this once.

Of all the days to post this, you chose Valentine's Day? My dear friend, only you would torment yourself so on Singles Awareness Day.
