COLOURS BLACK

I paint my eyes in colours black
to hide my face behind a mask
no more tears, no more shame
just pure, unadulterated pain
why did you have to go and leave me standing on my own?
How come she's so special, and I am so alone?
I cast my mind back to the day
when ‘I love you’ started to decay
that hollow quote still meant so much
to me, who shuddered at your touch
You tried so very hard to make me
love you, then you go and break me
I’m torn in two, I never lied
I'm just used to being swept aside
