As I open the door
To my disbelief
There you stood in someone else’s arm
Embraced and disoriented by the passion
Never looking my way
As the tears ran down my face
The sharpness of the spear sliced my insides
My heart ached like never before
I felt the eruption inside my body
Sending the pieces of my heart to the ground
As you finally turn my direction
I turned away without any exchange of words
Nothing but violent thoughts crossed my mind
The feeling of disgust quickly filled my inner soul
A new feeling has taken control
You are no longer the person I once loved
The memories of you and me quickly dissolving
Your voice, your touch, your kiss all empty
I take a quick glance at the cold casket
I kneeled beside it to lay your love to rest

It's a sad feelng to discover that what we believe so much in, doesn't truly believe in us. The sounds of a shattered heart echo through these lines. Though you bury, beware of ghosts
