Tsunami

Like a tsunami the emotions engulf me 

wave over me and sweep me off my feet

Why cant i leave you behind?

Always there, running through the maze in my mind

They say time is a healer

Yet everyday is a constant reminder

Testing, stressing, messing with my brain

You already took my soul 

Left a man shaped hole

Forever seeking searching to be whole

The breaking of my heart left its mark

Scarred with the shape of you 

I see you in everything i do 

No amount of alcohol can escape you 

Ive emptied every bottle trying to avoid the truth

By now you should just be a distant memory 

Yet your face still torments my dreams

Or is it nightmares that haunt me

Wide awake, fast asleep

You are all i see

Continually trapped in the memories

Rose tinted glasses cant change this scene

I'd love to paint a rainbow over that day

Fantasises, unrealistic visions of what should be 

could be , would be

All the things we wanted it to be 

Only to be hit in the face with reality , literally

Suffocating our dreams

like the first time you put your hands on me 

Instantly vanishing the man i thought i'd seen

Erasing everything i believed in previously

A trick to draw me in

I played my cards

Queen of hearts, on my sleeve 

no doubt pure love for everyone to see

No joke no bluff

You always had my love

But my heart was never enough

The world tore us apart 

Put you behind bars

we tried to make it work 

but we needed to fix our own hurt

And God had other plans

That didnt include me and you 

Just you and me completely separately 

I listened to the signals and took my cue

spewed that venom, deliberately

just to hurt you

Otherwise id still be by your side

wondering why i wasted my life

Despite the cracks in my heart 

i had to be brutal for us to part

Broke the bond to distance us

I never chose this love

Who would choose a broken heart

In time this will just be another of lifes lessons

or is it a blessing, a memory 

and youll just be another

 stranger to me 

Walk past me in the street

Act like we never met that day 

Erase history

and restore my wall again
