Isn't it Tragic?

My heart lay bleeding at my feet

I stare as you tear it apart.

I stagger back as you take your walk alone.

 

You say you're off balance,

So I go and the sides are even again.

You won't miss me when I'm gone.

 

You were my best friend and more.

I still want to be your friend, too.

But I need time to heal my heart.

 

You're not really gone, but to me you are and I miss you.

And I know you're not coming back.

So I'll see you around and we'll say hello.

 

I try, but can't put into words:

The sound of my heart shattering

The sight of the permanently gray skies etched into my mind

The feeling of your arms... I'll never feel again

The scent of the tears on my face

And the taste of them in my mouth

 

But my senses are numb.

I notice these things, but don't really feel them.

Isn't it tragic?
