A broken heart

I'm feeling very lost
Time is here and gone as quickly as it came.
Time traveling into the abyss into a void
It seems everything's gone horribly awry
I'm loosing grip, slipping away
Falling through darkness,
Not knowing where I will land
It seems I've made a disgustingly terrible mistake
Forsaking myself, and for what?
A lover who does not love?
A silly infatuation?
Yes, it's true, but I should know better...
I do know better
But if so then why do I continue to play with fire?
burning myself till there's nothing left but a memory of my bleeding broken heart
