my pain, part II

i've posted this song before, but after hearing it again this morning, i felt a need to post it again (oh, and the fact that i'm listening to evanescence should tell you all you need to know about my mood this a.m.). this song, in both lyric and tone, seemed a fitting companion to yesterday's song from we are the fallen (and those familiar with both groups know that yesterday's band is made up of former members of evanescence).

there is one lyric in particular that stands out from today's song (even as i type this it continues to echo in my heart and mind:

i can't go on living this way, but i can't go back the way i came
chained to this fear that i will never find a way to heal my soul
and i will wander 'til the end of time half alive without you

again, words that are so applicable to my life it's as if this song was literally written for me. and maybe it was -- for me and the thousands (likely even millions) more like me who are going through this experience of a broken heart right now. love may be wonderful but the loss of it and the hope for it to come again are very, very difficult.

my heart is broken -- evanescence
