Gone

Your warm breath tingles on my lips,

So close we're almost touching.

My heart's aflutter with fast blips,

Though you feel almost nothing.

Your once warm eyes are cold as ice,

Though you try to deceive,

How you'll act next, a roll of dice,

I'm trying to perceive.

Your mind I thought an open book,

Now locked up like a cage.

I thought I knew of every nook,

But I only knew one page.

Yet even in times with no sun,

I still can see the light.

While all you want to do is run,

I want to stay and fight.

I tell you that this isn't you,

You just made a mistake.

Yet you say that this isn't true,

My very heart you take.

You tell me that you made this choice,

And not just once or twice.

I find myself without a voice

My body cold as ice.

You pull me close against your chest,

Your fingers in my hair.

You think that this is for the best,

Yet you leave my life so bare.

I watch you as you turn and leave,

Leaving me alone.

I don't know what I can believe,

You said you were my home.

Yet now you're gone, my love, my life,

I know it's not a bluff.

I once believed I'd be your wife,

But a million dreams was never enough.
