Gone

I cannot get your memory out of my head.

The harder I try, the deeper you become embedded into my heart.

My tears flow easily as I question what I have done to make you go away.

You never even gave me a chance.

Never a chance to show you what was inside my heart.

Dare I say it?

No not ever.

And now you have gone away. You will never know.

With every tear I cry, a little more of my love is lost on you.

I wish I were with you now;

Stroking your hair and lying with you on your bed.

Laying my head against your chest,

And listening to your heart beat.

Forever.

Instead, I cry; because I know that will never happen.

We are in two different worlds that will never meet.

My only solace is that you never knew how I felt.

You were spared the burden of my imagined passions;

And now you are gone.

You shattered me into little tiny pieces;

Blind to the truth that rips my heart into shreds.

I still cry for you every night;

Futile cries in the dark, because you can never be mine.

I grieve for you now in poetic verse,

my words falling upon deaf ears;

Because you are gone.
