that ache in my heart.
My constant companions
since we've been apart.
Every morning I wake,
I try to forget,
promises made,
promises unkept.
I go to work
do the best I can.
When it wasn't enough
I felt less than a man.
Lunch break is calling,
I have many regrets.
I don't feel like eating
so I'll smoke cigarettes.
My work day is over
so I make my way home.
My family is there
but I still feel alone.
I sit down for dinner,
I poke at my food.
It's off to my bedroom
to sulk and to brood.
I'll close my eyes now
but I won't really sleep.
Memories of you,
they still run so deep.
I'll get up tomorrow
and do it again.
With thoughts in my head
of what might have been.
