Abandoned

The light that once shone in my eyes is no longer there It left me when you did The child that lived inside me, the innocence I once possessed Exists now only in a dream I put all my faith, my love, and my trust in you You were my world I looked up to you I needed you But you didn't want me and you never needed me I stood there, speechless, watching as you walked away, unable to do anything I wanted you to stay I didn't know how I would go on without you I cried I poured my heart and soul out to anyone who cared enough to listen Eventually, I didn't even have that anymore I no longer trusted anyone From that moment on, I knew I would be alone forever Locked inside my own little world afraid to come back out Never again would I allow myself to linger after anyone Not even you Memories plague me to this day Thinking, wishing, hoping there was something I could've done to make you stay To make you want to stay I don't know why you abandoned me; only that you did Left with a broken heart and no one to help me put the pieces back together again Nothing in this world had ever hurt so much No one could possibly understand what I would have given to have you with me To hug, to kiss, to hold me tight Little did I know then, what this would do to me It stole my happiness It destroyed me It left me weak and helpless, with no hope of ever being whole again I looked at you and realized that you are still a part of my life Just not the way I want you to be I thought for one moment that you would come back to me You hugged me; kissed me; made me feel like everything was alright again How long will this dance of ours continue? There are times I wish I had never known you; times I wish I didn't care
