It All Falls Down

By SickSanityJenn

As it all falls down around me
I sit crying, scared and lonely
Feeling like a child in this body
With nobody here to hold me

I can't stand the tension between us anymore
Everyday I'm closer to walking out the door
There's a war that's waging deep inside my heart
The pain of feeling so alone is tearing me apart
Every time I try to pull away you drag me back
But the absence of your love cuts me in half
I keep asking you what do we do now?
Do we give up or make this work somehow?
When there's nothing left that we can say
Do we fight harder or do we just walk away?

As it all falls down around me
I sit crying, scared and lonely
Feeling like a child in this body
With nobody here to hold me
I keep asking and begging
And uselessly screaming 
Nothing I do seems to
Get through to you
You're a wall of defiance
With blank stares and silence
Am I losing my mind
Or just wasting my time?

As it all falls down around me
I sit crying, scared and lonely
Feeling like a child in this body
With nobody here to hold me

    "When there's nothing left that we can say Do we fight harder or do we just walk away?" - there comes a point in every relationship where you have to ask yourself that... Scholar

    Sometimes the hardest choice is the best one. I've learned that time and again, doesn't get any easier

  • A former member wrote: This reminds me of a certain quote: "it's better to lose a lover than to love a loser". However cheesy it may be, it fits in our damned lives quite well. It all falls down eventually and the flowers may fade but seeds await daylight somewhere. I like your oximoronic sick sanitiy :)

That is what I say to myself when I'm feeling so alone and lost.. All the best to you and thank you for sharing :)

    I have felt this way before. Even feeling as if the loneliness itself would kill me. Well put together, nice write.

    Thank you. Feeling helpless and alone in a relationship is worse than just being single and alone
