Damned and Unchosen

Since you died, I realized I've worn a disguise
Everything makes me want to perform suicide
Lifeless gray sounds scream in my ear
Nothing left to dream, my life is tears
I can't afford the cost I've been paying
No longer hear God's voice when praying
Alone I am unable to smile, or find solace
And since you left, my inner life is godless
I never thought I'd fall and never care to live
Now I call God's name, begging him to forgive
I am lost since you left
And I've nothing else to give
No matter what I do, I'll never again have you
Bereft and broken, damned and unchosen
You were my whole life
You were the only one
And now, there is nothing remaining
But quiet pain and repeated praying
Without answer, because there is none
