Dragging Me Into The Depths Of Darkness

Not dating... ever
Seems the answer to all the problems in the world
"I'd rather deal with the pain of loneliness
Than the pain of getting my heart ripped to shreds."

I mean, really
Why do I feel like this?
Two and a half years...
Who would have thought
That I would be the one to rip your heart out
Over and over again?

The final blow is when I realize
That we would not have lasted
It would have been over soon anyway
And I moved on
Or at least tried to

And yet I feel your pain
Miles away from where you are
I'm here and you're there
Why do I feel your heartache?

And now, tension envelops me
Fear, aggravation, frustration
Wrapped around me in an aura
That my empathy saps in immediately
Choking me
Dragging me into the darkness of depression
