Another for my muse

How can I miss you when I never really had you?

You shut me out, cut me off

Like I was the cause of all the wrongs in your life

and not the reason it started to feel right

We laughed, we smiled

we shared hopes and dreams

and the next day I ceased to exist

like a dream you forgot upon waking

I'm left adrift in a sea of wondering

with no shore to swim for

No longer invited in

or held close to your hearts' desires

I miss you like an ache

You're a sickness I can't beat

Yet you callously cleaved me

and I no longer have the right to you

To know how you are

What you're doing

What you're thinking

Thoughts once shared so freely

are now beyond my reach

and I'm left lonely and wanting

waiting for an invitation back in that won't come

heartbreak
