You left me

Feelings of abandonment

You left me

You made a promise but could not keep it

Never leave me I implored yet you did

Now here all alone am I as I sit

I knew the secret that you thought you hid

Smiling while lying that all was so well

Day by day I saw that you were in pain

You should have realized that I could tell

Still don't leave me I begged again and again

Canceled appointments skipped medication

Pulling away from a touch hug or kiss

No longer praying nor meditation

Truly your presence I really do miss

You were preparing for the long goodbye

Choosing to leave me here wondering why
