Gone.

I feel your presence, your spirit near

I remember warmth, but you're not here.

 

What once was joy has now receded

Gentleness gone, and grace impeded

Did I give too much, or stay too long?

Did I try too hard, or my words prolong?

 

The vows remembered, naive elation

Disloyalty now begs cessation.

Trust now lost. The struggle painful

Thoughts of another's touch disdainful

 

You feel my presence, you wipe my tear

You remember warmth, but I'm not here.

 

We move as robots, time seems long

Together now; forever gone.
