Those promises spoken to a star filled sky
You looked at me and told me things I wanted to hear
I believed them all and I believed in you
I didn't understand that then
But I was with a lie
All those times of silence
Where I was left fretting and trying to fix things
Who knew where you were....

Steadily my soul was eviscerated
Piece by piece
I grew tired and depressed
I could not understand what started out great
Was becoming my prison
You were going strength by strength
You took my support, my encouragement and my love.

Feeding off it like a vulture.
Until those promises you murmured became empty
Suddenly when you looked at me
I could not comprehend who you were
I could no longer believe in you.

You eviscerated my soul, took my energy and my shell
Around me a promised future shattered,
The lie became depression and a manic replay
Suddenly this silence was torture
As you moved on to your next victim.

Now within my head is a never-ending fog
I am walking through dead fields of memories
The fires of pain have scarred the Earth
The stars one by one in the night sky
Are eviscerated as I see emptiness.
