Fogged eyes
Brimmed with tears
Legs welded still
By remnants of words

I stare into a void
Where you once stood
Ten seconds
Or ten hours

At some point you had to leave
You wouldn't stand there forever
Waiting for me to accept
That you would leave forever

You did not come to comfort me
Shield me
From your own words
The ones that ended us

Shattered the memories
The emotions
This isn't us
Not anymore

The promise of forever
Lasted only as long as your interest
I was only a toy
Entertainment for passing time

Used
Abused
This is not what I wanted
This is not what I expexcted

It's too late to fix it
It's too late to care
You can't mend
What isn't there

The silence
It will haunt me
I won't be what I was
I can't forgive what I had
