Bound with sorrow, lips quivering
You stand there in disbelief
The earth goes on in its random motion
While the ground has shifted beneath your feet
…
Emotion laden waves heaving
Won’t be released, no not today
Because you can’t believe what you have lost
No matter the world’s dictum, your heart simply cannot obey

Lightening tears up the skies
Large drops of rain come crashing down
The heavens now weep for you
Because your eyes can’t shed a drop
…
There will be another time to grieve
Some other day to mourn and cry
Now the pain’s too sharp to ignore
Today it’s your biggest ally
…
You reach inside and give it shape
A phantom spirit will haunt tomorrow
Forged in the pit of pain and anger
You fashion a quiver full of arrows
…
Sharpened with guilt and revenge
These arrows, beware, know their mark
Strung on the bow of loneliness
They hunt out their targets even in the dark
…
But however many you may shoot
Out in the world, for whom who knows
Though your quiver empties out one day
The knife inside stills bleeds your heart
