The Ruins When you left me The ruins of all that was us. Collapsed inside my chest. For a very long time I stood in those ruins Still thinking I would find you there. But it was only the wailing of old ghost Looking for a home. Once I thought my ruins were all that is left of me. But even ruins take on a new life. Wildflowers are now growing Between the rubble and bricks Colours are appearing as she sun rises above the broken buildings. Ivy has grown over the broken towers. Sunlight is falling warming the new life. Sure I miss your laugh The sparkle in your eyes I do not think of your kisses though That would surely break my heart in two. But I am expelling your ghost To find another abode In someone elseโs broken heart. My ruins are slowly being restored Brick by brick. The gardens bloom with new life. A life that does not include you. Because life has gone on without you in my ruins. And now I must go on as well.
