what did i do wrong?
one minute we were riding high
that crest of euphoria
the next
i was tumbling in the water
pummeled by the waves
unable to breathe
to see
to....be
what did I do wrong?
how did I change?
didn't I give you my all
maxed out love and care
what else is there to give
how can I live
without a heart and soul?
I gave you....all
was it not enough
to fill your empty spaces?
how did I lose
those enchanting graces
shocked disbelief
gnawing gently to grief
rejection sated
insides churning
with the bile of betrayal brewing
spewing pain
burned esophageal refrain
acid lined life
what did I do?
what did I say?
why did you go away?
away...away....away.....
You don't hear a word I say
Gone with the wind of wistful wanting
daunting
the life bound to me...haunting
You went away....away....
took away my voice
left me no choice
but to shrivel and die
goodbye
good? bye?
it's been so very long
and yet....
I cry!
