My Cue To Fall Apart

The journey home seemed endless
People were still smiling
I wondered how and why

My broken heart
Was seeping out of me
Such was the pain I couldn't cry

I occupied myself
To numb out the first few hours
Somehow waiting for my cue

I cleaned the house
Until my hands bled
And bruised black and blue

The stinging seemed to help
I could see this pain
It felt real

Everything else
Was my body going into shock
This I couldn't feel

Still the birds were singing
The sky going about its business
Even today it wouldn't be grey

The world niggled me
Like an excited child
I just wanted it to go away

The wait seemed constant
You know its coming
But not sure when it will start

My heart is broken
And I am just waiting 
For my cue to fall apart
