How did it come to this?

Me standing here, drenched in my tears

Our life used to be filled with such bliss

Photos of good times for all to see

Now are discarded, packed away in boxes

I don't understand how this came to be

The house is empty, the rooms sit bare

It's been a long time coming

Still, I can't help but care

How did it come to this?

All the angry words that we screamed

Our fate sealed with one last kiss

Walking slowly out the front door

The click of the lock behind me

My emotions lay wreathing on the floor

I am leaving behind our once loving home

The sky's grey and heavy like my heart

For the first time in years I am alone.
