Forever Locked

How did we end up two people? 
     Avoiding one another?
       I remember we promised we would
         Always be there for the other.

                                  In the same room the energy
                               So thick you feel it in the air.
                            You have no feelings, you
                         Don't seem to care.

   When you left you
     Took it all away.
       You have no idea how painful;
         To just get through the day.

                       I'm here lingering 
                    In the unknown.
                 Just me completely
             And utterly alone.

   You won't even
      Try to be kind.
        You ran away and
           Left me behind.

                 All I can do is try
              Not to cry.
           I can't wrap my head
       Around the reason why.

   I believed you, I thought you
     Were a woman of your word.
       I have things to say, yet
         My words will never be heard.

                       All this feels so strange
                   And unreal.
               You shrug it off like
           It's no big deal.

   I wish I would of never
     Answered when you knocked.
       One thing for sure that 
           Door will remain forever locked.

In French, a "papillon" is a woman who flits from flower to flower enriching lives. Be thankful yours was touched! Aloha!
