A lost cause

Something just clicked
We spent hours with one another
dreading our time apart
Thinking I had found true love
Only to have it ripped out
From under me

Slowly slipping
Into the great unkown
What is the pain I feel
Losing all desire for anything

Tears come without warning
Searching for what I had
Coming up empty at every turn

Letting bitterness take control
Trying to mask the pain
Not letting anyone near

Running from it all
The only way to survive
Knowing that
I'll never be able to out run the pain
but not wanting to truly embrace it

I am a man in Limbo
A lost cause
