The dark side of heartbreak

Talk me down.

Without your love I feel the ground

fall beneath my feet.

Cold between these sheets—

without your warmth beside me.

Be the voice to guide me,

talk me down.

Mistakes we make, for lovers sake,

when love we love is bottled up and drown.

Talk me down.

They're only words.

Can I wear you down?
Let me try to wear you down.
If I keep saying “I love you,”
will you come around?

Numb

Keep the music up;

it keeps my thoughts at bay.

Turn it off—silence.

They pour in,

flooding my mind.

The weight is drowning,

the sound deafening.

"Oh, if only."

"Where are you?"

"But I love him.”

STOP!

Stop thinking,

stop feeling.

Repress my love, my heart, my mind.

Turn the music up again.
