Left Behind
I called your name last night
but the words died upon my mouth
and lay there
a heavy weigh on
my damaged lips.
torn apart by years of silence
and the lies
of "I love you"
and "it's ok"
I sat in silence
hoping to conjure you by memory
create a mirage so real
standing at the side of my bed
holding my hand in yours
so delicately touching it
and lightly kissing my mouth
and that look in your steel eyes
showing what your mouth could never say....
I tried to call out
tried to say something
anything
to take this pain away
I tried to say....
that was where it ended
we found this lying near her
surrounded with the crimson
cold and stagnant.
seeping into the floor.
