What's Left Behind
I wish the pain that envelopes me would subside.
The torment and ache rushes through me constantly,
like waters of a tide claiming her sandy shore.
Because of you.
Because of me.
Whatever is left,
Is left for scavengers,
Because you have all the rest.
I wish that I couldn't see a part of you
in everything that's around me.
In everything that I do.
And in everything that touches my spirit.
That's how whole my love was
and still is.
Time won't heal me,
Time won't recover the loss or the emptiness.
The only thing time will do,
is permit me to remember every
little thing about us,
and you.
Being without you seems to be my destiny.
Everything is gone.
And all that's left is a dark, lonely,
and very frightening place.
~
And that's because of you.
