• Have you ever had your heart broken,

    torn to pieces

    scattered in the wind,

    like a piece of trash?



    Have you ever felt the burn

    of being lost,

    like a white hot iron

    in your chest?



    Have you ever wanted to cry,

    to cry your heart out,

    because

    life just wasn't quite right?



    Have you ever whimpered

    because you were

    left alone,

    neglected?



    Have you ever been an army of one

    on a impossible mission for the ones you loved

    into the heart of the enemy

    knowing you were going to die for the ones that didn't care?



    Have you ever fallen

    on your face

    because you took a risk,

    the wrong risk?



    Have you ever snuffed out a candle

    to sit in the dark,

    just to sit there in the dark,

    just to think

    of everything thats gone wrong?



    To sit in the dark

    tears trickling down your cheeks,

    the salt tasting evil

    on your parched lips.



    To huddle,

    to hold yourself,

    trying not to self pity;

    But that battle is lost too.



    Have you ever had a sad song drift through your heart

    to fill you up,

    to get you back on your feet;

    Only to be knocked down again?



    Have you ever

    wanted to end it all

    with a bullet

    in your heart.

    so everyone

    would know

    how you

    really felt?



    Have you ever been there,

    with your finger on the trigger,

    trying to figure

    how long the pain will last?



    Were you smart enough

    to turn back

    and drop the gun?



    I still stand here

    gun to my heart



    wondering







    how long







    the pain







    will
