Breakup, By: Steven Mcdonald

March 26, 2024 by Steven Mcdonald

Breakup, By: Steven Mcdonald

When that phone clicks for the last time
And that door finally shuts
You know the end has arrived
You can just feel it in your guts

The thoughts of what if
And musings of if only
Nothing left but memories
And feelings that are lonely

I shouldn’t have done that
I wish i had done this
God damn i would kill
For one more nice, long kiss

Food tastes bland
Music hurts like hell
I find myself wishing
And staring at my cell

Time heals all wounds
I have often heard it said
Nothing seems to resuscitate
A broken heart that’s dead

Pull yourself together kid
Stop living in the past
Your future is wide open
And the universe is vast

Get up, dust yourself off
And use this as a tool
When the next one comes around
You won’t be such a fool

There is someone for everyone
I believe this to be true
You will improve
And when the time arrives
There will be no doubt as to who
