Sadness wraps around me like a blanket
I wish I could shake it off because I just can’t take it
This feeling is so heavy and weighs down on me
All I do is fight to breathe and try to break free

I feel hopeless and helpless and terribly lost
For the mistakes I have made I am now paying the cost
These tears from my eyes constantly fall
No matter what I do nothing helps at all

This ache in my chest gets worse every day
Sometimes I think it will never go away
The sky stays dark with storms and rain
While my heart stays dark with agony and pain

I could not ever have imagined feeling so sad
It was better when at first all I felt was mad
But the anger has left me just like you did
Forcing me to a accept that part of my life has ended

It hurts me to know that I will not see you again
Even more when I think about what could have been
Not so long ago my world was filled with happiness
Now I am suffocating from this blanket of sadness
