As The Door Closes

As he closes the door, 

I break into a million pieces. 

As the silence comes back, 

The pain only increases. 

I turn off the light, 

Not wanting to see. 

My tears start falling, 

But how can that be? 

I never stopped crying to begin with, 

But yet he still knows how to make cry a sea. 

I'm not sure it's a fight I want to win, 

Because if I did, what would be left of me? 

I'll never be normal, 

But who is, right? 

Nobody I know is, 

And that's not alright. 

What should I do with this life of mine, 

When it's always their's for the taking? 

I don't know how to act like a human being, 

Instead, every day, I just keep breaking. 

How much longer, 

When will he be gone? 

How sane will I be, 

After he's moved on? 

How did it come to this, I don't know, 

I don't remember how I was before. 

I know I'll never go back to how I was, 

Because I'll never heal anymore. 

As he opens the door, 

I close my eyes, grit my teeth. 

As he closes the door, 

I remember how to breathe. 

But only for a while.
