Ever miss someone even if the way they broke up with you leaves full of doubt, self loathing and more questions than answers?

At the Corners of My Soul
by Michael Romani

Picking at the corners of my soul
Searching for answers, reeling out of control
You were the changes I wanted to make
And your leaving is more than I can take

Falling from the shadows to the deep
Think I know why the willows weep
Perhaps the cruelest words ever spoken
Were you telling me I am just too broken

If I was a drinking man, I'd get drunk
But instead I'm stuck feeling this sunk
You made me feel special just to let me go
And the feeling I know now, I don't want to know

I wanted to sing the song you'd want to feel
Would have done most anything to keep this real
I keep reliving the dreams that we shared
It's hard to believe that you never really cared

There really is a lot, too much, wrong with me
But, I believe you maybe could have saved me
If you hadn't given up to that eventually
Lord, I wish I was too blind to see
