May 2010
Far too short of a time
Were you mine.

You retreated from my embrace
Before I could but see your frantic face.

You left me here to rot
In my confused woes, I kid you not.

How could you leave me?
Alone, you thought you set me free?

All I have is this worthless heart,
That of which you broke apart.

Why, why did you leave?
You left me with a tear-soaked sleeve.
All this emotion should be yours.
It’s for you that my mind still soars.

This love I have for you,
It will never simply retreat.
All I want from you
Is a reason to feel complete.

I only wish for you to return
These feelings I’ve put in an urn.

And on my shelf they lie:
They will return if ever you try
To be with me again.
Don’t let this be the end.
