I can't get away

On an airplane, train or car
I couldn't get away far
Without being stuck
In the memory of you
Your love left me scarred
Looking up at the stars
I see only your ghost
I've had no luck
All my bad history
I remain unredeemed
And you know it is all true
So why go on living
Unless I am forgiving
Every day tears away
The intricate fabric of reality
You removed my heart
With precise surgery
Lied in court against me
Using perjury
Leaving me with nothing
But a saddened legacy
Of disaster and catastrophe
And a loveless existence
