What You Left Behind

I remember all the best parts of our love

As I lay here with another, that is not you,

All I can give them now, is a kiss goodnight

Nothing more, that’s the best that I can do.

***

I awake each morning, it’s like I’ve forgotten

That you had so very recently walked away,

Then the memory hits, comes crashing down

Of how I begged and pleaded for you to stay.

***

Now all I can feel is my tender heart aching

No one to talk to, such a fool my family say,

But there’s always that one candle burning

For you, the one true love that got away.

***

Enough time has passed for you to return

If you had any such inclination to do so,

My heart needs to fully accept this sad truth

That it is obvious to all, only my brain knows.

***

So now day by day my life has become empty

As week after week continually roll into one,

I wonder often what you’re feeling, so proud now

Of the pain and damage, that you alone have done.

***

I’m pretty sure that I no longer enter your thoughts

You said it’s over, so I am out of sight, out of mind,

Oh, I sure do wish it was that easy, here on my side

Instead of the heartache and suffering combined.

***

If you were to come on back, within the next few days

I wouldn’t allow you too, as my heart will not forgive,

I have drowned my love for you, with every tear spent

Now I am an empty shell, with no more love to give.
