No Longer Alive

What I regret the most,

Isn’t the fact I had to leave you,

I made my peace with that,

But the fact I had to move on

And build another life

After thinking we were forever

And were for always.

The stress of the change

Made me alone and cold

And feeling unworthy

And to others, too bold.

When I spoke of what I wanted

And said it with determination

I didn’t know it would lead

To the culmination

Of the end of what I thought

Was a beautiful life.

I’m only living, no longer alive.
