The End - Mycenea Worley

What's left in the end?

He kissed her lips and thought, "I'm nothing to you now
You're just ache and rage and pride."
He searched a second more - One last hopeful glimpse
To try to find some love left inside her eyes

He said, "Take your anger and your piercing words
and cut out someone else's heart.
I gave you everything that you ever asked me to
and now you want to tear me apart."

What's left in the end?

He kept his eyes low as he closed the door
His heart disturbed him - it was calm
That's what happens when you get beat up long enough
Your heart grows cold
It doesn't even hurt when you move on.

He said, "I'm so sorry." though he couldn't say just why
Because he gave it all he had
He knew he'd never walk into that house again
There's nothing left to say when you know that

He said, You were my dream - my life
We both said that from the start.
There was a time I would have given you my last breath."
And then he fell apart.

He thought of her and said, "You shut me out somehow
with your burning rage and pride.
And I'd stand by you if I thought I had a chance
of ever getting back inside."

"So take your anger and hold tight to all those fears
that you've created in your mind.
It seems that's all you're ever going to have
to keep you company in life.
I would have given you my life.
What happened to my friend? My wife?"
