There was never a chance for closure,
Died in my arms forever ago,
Leaving the greatest pain I’ve ever known.
I’ll go on with the masquerade,
A harsh exterior only a facade,
Won’t be whole without you,
Left me feeling broken and blue.
Can’t go on without you here,
Surrounded by these insurmountable fears,
Never again will I feel you touch,
My efforts to save you were never good enough.
