strained from screaming
hoarse from crying out your name
but it keeps on singing your song
my arms are worn out
bleeding from bearing your cross
broken from trying to hold on
while you run away
but they still carry a torch for you
my eyes are red rimmed
swollen from weeping
afraid to look ahead
to see what's coming next
but they can't break a stare with you
my heart is battered
bruised from every fall
kept wide awake with nightmares
from this so called "love"
yet it still beats for you
