When Do You Surrender

When do you surrender,
After love has gone away,
Do you give in quickly,
Or does it take you days?

Can you still feel the pain,
After a month goes by,
Are your eyes sore and red,
From the tears that you still cry.

Do you continue to feel empty,
Into the next new year,
Does your soul feel cold and barren,
Because your love is no longer near.

Are your mornings filled with anguish,
Eyes constantly filled with tears,
And nights plagued with deathly nightmares,
From all your lonely fears.

Do you walk along in sadness,
Down roads of broken dreams,
Does anyone ever heed,
Your loud, heart-broken screams.

Do familiar songs rehash painful memories,
That you wish would go away,
Do the tears still fall like rain,
When you pass familiar places everyday.

Do you hate to go outside,
Because of the couples that you'd see,
Would their happiness make you sick inside,
Even though it's where you wish you could be.

So tell me when do you surrender,
After love is dead and gone,
Still feeling cold and empty,
Even though I'm desperately trying,
To simply just 'Move On'.....
