To pretend I’m not affected by the absence of you in my life
Is becoming so easy to do

Don’t talk of your name
Smile and move on like it never happened or was

You can’t turn back a clock
Nor change a persons feelings
An inkling of hope you may return one day
How would I react

Shut you out so abruptly
So final no explanation
Follow in your footsteps
Give you no validation

I looked at you like you were a prize
Not meant for me
Different worlds we live
Yearning for a slice of happiness
Not meant for you to give

Constant reminders of the gestures you gave surround me
I have to just block it out
As it wasn’t meant to be

There’s part of me missing now
A piece of a missing puzzle
One I can’t put back together
