Determination, diligence Is what I saw Running away is what I reciprocated with. All the right things is what you did Making the coldness in my chest melt. Happiness, Affection Is what I felt With you by my side, and in my heart. The heart that you thawed, and made your home. I tried to make this home the best I could But even the sun sets in paradise. You came home fewer, my heart grew colder. Every day was an agony Reaching out was what I did. But I lacked acknowledgement. To this day, it is a mystery As to why you up’ed and left my heart. The heart you thawed and made your home. (k.l.)
