Gone

You walked away today
Because there was nothing left to say

We had lost everything we had
I am left in this house alone and sad

I lay awake tonight
And in my head I think back to our fight

I am sorry for everything said
Those words are dead

I know your not coming back
And you is what I surely lack

This kingdom changed
I am so estranged

Moving on won't be an ease
You would always please

I was so excited to see you day to day
I was so excited to look at you and say

I love you
It was true

But now that is besides the point
This pains aches my every joint
