JILTED

You left me standing in the desert,
When you twisted my memories & ripped them apart,
With a hint of desperation & the scent of loneliness,
you recklessly filled up my desolate heart.
Stars that once shone bright faded, into blackness, into dread.
Staring me in my face, was the next dreary morning, right ahead,
But all I had the strength for was to sleep, and just stay in bed.
My once hopeful heart, suddenly went numb,
When I realized you thought I'd always be under your thumb.
So I fought the paralysis, and chased my worries away,
And picked myself right back up,
Since I was damaged, but not beyond repair...
So to this day I shiver, when I smell loneliness in the air.

I shiver, when I smell loneliness in the air...

I shudder and shiver and try to think bigger.
Just to avoid the same heartache and its giver.
But in the end, it all comes down to learning to live
And in order to do that,
It's crucial that I no longer put myself through the ringer.
It's crucial that I learn to love and be loved,
then ultimately I should end up being the one who is happier..
