Every light is on
The phone lies off the hook
The floor completely covered in garbage, broken glass
Pages torn out from every book
Our beautiful house, my solace, my refuge
I knew at that moment it forever disappeared
Since the hurricane that hit so hard
Things will never be the same here
It wasn’t a burglar who robbed me of my naivety
A thunderstorm didn’t wipe away my dreams
Mommy and daddy showed me that night
How quickly you can forget something you’ve always believed
I’m left here to face the after math
Clean up the mess, wash white the stains
Out with the trash go all those silly childhood delusions
Like the shards of what once was their wedding champagne
I’ll fix the family portrait, make things as they were
Every fine line I trace is
Another scar from yesterday hidden away forever
The cracks run through our smiling faces
This silent empty room accuses me
Reminding me this is all my fault
Such an inconvenience
For two people who never loved each other at all
I just want to be told it’ll all be okay
I want to be tucked in, but no one is home
They left me here with the broken pieces of their marriage
They left me to cry alone |
