Happily Never After

One
You were looking at forever,
She was staring at never.
You realized you've been chasing a shadow,
In a misery you just can't help but wallow.

Two
"Time heals all wounds", they say.
But the hands on your clock are limping their way.
Trying to figure out what to do on such a day.
Wishing the pain would just simply go away.

Three
You feel the numbness of your body.
Everything just stops.
You stare blankly ahead.
A hole in your heart.
Thoughts empty.
A gap in your breathing.
Lips trembling.
Heart pounding.
Body shaking.
Your mind refusing to accept.
You die for a second, and live only to realize the emptiness.
You smile, only to hide the pain.
You tell yourself it's gonna be okay,
You know it won't now that she's away.

Four
Your heart is stomped on the ground.
You dusted it off and handed it back to her.
That's not the right way around,
Let go of your feelings, let it wither.

Five
You wish your eyes would just weep and all,
When colors changed to a lifeless hue.
Tears just won't start to fall,
Even though they're way past due.

Six
"Time heals all wounds", they say.
But the hands on your clock are limping their way.
Trying to figure out what to do on such a day.
Wishing the pain would just simply go away.

Seven
You had your gaze at forever,
She had a fixed stare at never.
