Grief: The Cost of Commitment

I'm fighting to open that door
Because I don't know what I will find
It's the fear of all that is unknown
And everything that would be left behind

It's the numbness I feel from within
I can no longer deny the cold truth
There is nothing more left to deny
Of an emptiness that I cannot undo

I've been suffocating in this loneliness
My back up against that wall
Standing on the edge of a looming goodbye
In love with you again I can't fall

You see, I'm already alone
In isolation I live out each day
Push open the door to my heart
In my grief let me then walk away
