You're Gone

But when did I know you would leaveA fair question it’s not, forI knew it the first time my eyes fluttered closeAs your lips touched mine.As happiness then, one daySorrow would be brought.
But the delicious shudder that passes through meAt the memory of your touch on my skin bare,Had not even fully died by the time,You said your goodbye,Leaving me wondering if I dreamed you upOr were you really there?
But why does this heartbreak,Seem not as trivial as dying.For what’s worse is breathing,Alive knowing you once loved me,Giving me false hope of destiny,Tears have dried; I am not even crying.
But where would those tears fall if they could,Only you knew how to wipe them away.I could hurt myself all I want,But would it shut down my soul?I could name my pain through all my scars,Now that you’re gone, another day I can’t bear.
